Hey guys for sure all theese spares have to be sold, but i'm here on this forum just to spend some time talking about the '8 and i'm not sure it is correct to place an advice here.
I'm not even a sales man...you know what i mean.
What i can do now is talking to whom is working on this and tell him to place the spares list and price ASAP, but on the Astra website.
Last but not least...since today we're closed for XMas holydays...even if at east 2 guys will be @ Astra always.

If the price isnt too bad, put me on the list for a complete set of black leather seats and perhaps the trim panels as well. If we can get them to Miama, I am sure an extra shipping charge can get them from there to our door.

If anyone does want to set up a Group Buy on any of this stuff, please get with me.

And hfalex, I too enjoy your posts. If you would like to use RX8Club.com as a conduit to sell all these "spares" please PM me and we'll get you set up as a vendor.

If i was one of your sponser and saw how our money was going to extra cars that are being gutted/sold for parts... I would cut you off instantly.

Seeing how I am not a sponser, and a regular 8 owner... When will you be posting the parts that are for sale?

Getting the nav would be nice - but I'm not sure if that is a realistic project. I remember posts here on the forum that retrofitting the navigation system would be a major pain because there is quite a bit that needs to be replaced. Some major cable harnesses?
If that's not the case and installing the nav could be done without spending 1000 bucks for labor, I'd be interested too - does anyone know for sure what is involved?

Hfalex, I'm currently looking for a replacement of the left rear bumper guard and fastener(s). PM me about the price in € if you have one to sell. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, i just posted some curious pics.... i'm not a sales man!!!!

About theese spares.
The best thing i guess is a group buy, both for europeans but especially for people overseas.
