I'm confused... if you were willing to pay more, in those last few seconds, why did you place a bid for less?

It was basically because I out a bid in for £160 thinking that would be plenty and it went straight over that but because I did it right at the end I didn't have enough time to put a higher bid in and I lost it, the name of the game in an auction site.
Still looking for an original one, top price paid!

Just get a OMP one. its does the job, I genuinely do not understand why people pay silly amount of money for the t5 and t5r parts.

Baffles me. It's like i said before i have now got 3 sets of Volvo titans alloys. Already sold 1x set pending collection.

So I'm wondering should i put the 3x sets for sale here for £2000 hhahahaha

Well, funny you should say that, I bought an OMP one back in January and tried to fit it a couple of months later, doesn't fit at all, I think they sent me a LHD one! it's all wrong, Unfortunately I have lost the receipt so I'm stuck with it.
