Hi fellas ,
because of the new RA front bar my fender splash inner well no longer fits.
so I wanted to buy the following
5370A439 SHIELD-FR FENDER SPLASH-FR LH + RH (Wheel Well Inner Lining)
RRP = A$182.20+ (Pair)
CCJ = A$170
I checked with Ofey but he said the shipping will cost a lot due to the size of the item from VIC and suggested me to buy them from a local dealer.
so I called Alto where I bought my car from, and they quoted me around $130 just for one side, so $260 for a pair. that's almost $80 more than the RRP from Mitsubishi.
anyone know any better place I can get them cheaper around Sydney?
Thanks
Andrew

I got my spash guard for $87 when I had to rebuild the front of my car. That was in Bunbury, WA. That'd be $174 for the pair, so not too bad.

They might have given me trade price, perhaps due to the quantity of parts I was buying and they knew I was doing a full scale repair, not just replacing one bit.
I didn't ask for it though, but it did seem fairly cheap compared to what I thought I'd be paying

All the add-ons i have in my car are from Suttons Arncliffe, they always give me 10% off the listed price and the fitting is free.
