Not to take away from anybody's efforts but I believe we will have more negotiation power if we stick together as a group of buyers...

Malcolm - any possibility that you can approach Bruma on the group's behalf?

I know the guy at spares quite well and did ask him. He says if you buy 1 or 10, he can't give me more than 5% discount.

That will not even pay to ship one to each person.

If they cannot supply any, maybe you should try it from your side to push Nissan to order fresh supplies. I think your contact has more push than a spares clerk.

Hi Guys.

I bought my bonnet protector for my GU from a Nissan dealership 2 years ago. I just ordered it like any other spare part. No need for direct import from Australia at that stage. I can't remember the price. Is it no longer possible to order from Nissan here in SA?

Cheers
H

Hi Jules.

I had the protector fitted to my pathy and there was no need to remove the rubbers. Interestingly enough the Navarra protector was a better fit than the Pathy protector.

Hello Ian

Send me all the requirements - I am confident Brits Nissan will assist us - might be good to separate the threads i.e. bonnet protectors, head light protectors, etc?

I'll be interested in those window shields. That specific item was something that the guys at Nissan couldn't source for me.
