Hi,
Sorry, been put off a bit by a couple of our customer main dealers. Both say they have had them on the shelf for 2 years and never sold one
the tooling for me to make this part would be a couple of grand+, so not sure its worth the risk
Mark @ HTAutos.

Anyone have an idea how much my Hatch is worth?
Parkers list it at £16.5k. But they only list the UK car without the recaro's, 18" alloys, push button keyless entry, sat nav etc etc..which was an additional £3k new.
Extras include 330s Exhaust, Zun Sport lower grill, Zero Sports cool action II IC splitter, Zero Sports air intake pipe, HT AUto's lip spoiler, Rally Armor mudflaps, DEFI Racer dials (boost & oil press) in center vent pod, JDM clear rear fog mod, RaceDynamix remap (1.1 bar with 1.3bar peak). & 20mm hubspacers from CDF.
All these could be removed and car sold as standard Premium Spec if necessary.
Any ideas would be greatly received, I'm toying with the idea of a new Discovery 4 so the scooby and D3 would be going to finance it.

Kyle is yours an 08 and what sort of mileage, I'd like to think between 18k-19k for your premium spec as it stands, there is a blue one on ph with 7300miles for £17995 and a few 08 UK car at dealers for about 20k.
You wont get any extra for the bits you have put on in a px, the value of your is its standard premium spec so if traded in I'd whip em off and sell privately.

Mark, may be interested in the original at the right price at the end of it 
And if it blends in, just means I don't get caught spending by the missus!

FPMSL @ Arron - I know what you mean there!!!
its gonna cost £200 delivered, but currently on back order!!
amazing that as dealers have never sold any!!!
also been told that IM have stated the boot of the UK saloon is too weak to take a large spoiler hence the lack of one and only a small one on offer.
when asked about the JDM and USA version that come with it standard, they have different law regs there for stronger boots!!!!
WTF!!!!!

Couple of pics of my car. Had it just over a week now, an ex demo from Westaways Northampton (great bunch of guys up there, and excellent service !). Have some plans for it, different wheels (something in white), PPP, prodrive springs, tints, lip spoiler, and some red tint surrounds for rear lights. Ah yes, flaps too, not sure what colour though. Loving it so far
What do think of my ghetto cover, to stop the dogs from covering the back of the seats and headrests in fur/oil ....

I would have loved to listen to THAT phonecall... It's about time they heard some negative feedback not via customer support..Makes you wonder how much longer they are willing to keep this charade up.
Interested to see how the 2011 cars fair. If they also start cracking piston ringlands, even with the new map, then surely they cannot brush another 2 years of failures under the carpet?.. They may still have to back down and remedy this.

Like the look of the saloon but I REALLY hope sales are sooooo low that IM HAVE TO ask why.They're losing loyal customers left,right and centre!
