Sorry I forgot to reply - no excuse at all!!!

Yep we did a bit of bartering and he came down to £290 all in - quite a nice bloke really. Only problem was he gave me dates and times that he would be able to do it and I am working away at present Hopefully he will let me have the quote when I get home

Worth holding on as you advised - nice one

[quote=""DevonX5""]I emailed longlife in Thornbury and they replied;

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the opportunity!
 LONGLIFE STAINLESS STEEL TWIN BACK BOXES (WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY) for your BMW X5 3.0L D (2004/05) WOULD be:
£329 including fitting & VAT*
After Feb 29 price rises to £379 (!)
Cannot be combined with any other discount.
* The £290 price was a one-time offer so we could cost the job internally.
We have moved to the Thornbury Industrial Estate. Please note our new address and phone number:
16B Walker Way
Thornbury, Bristol BS35 3US
01454 501439

I informed them that they had carried out a couple of fittments at the circa £290 mark but not sure if you guys paid VAT on top of this.

Not sure if im going to bother now as I'm not a fan of "get it now before the price goes up" gag! [/quote]

Hey guys, after reading ur comments about exhaust I emailed longlife and that s Wat I got from them

Hi there, no, no vat on top.

I couldnt find anybody else unless i spent 4 hours in the car, even the newer price is good value for the parts, 4 hours and finished affect i think (the £329.00 not the £499.00 something wrong with this price).
Cheers
Paul
