    Does seem steep when you could get a whole Audi S2 for that price not long ago

      Interesting to see that the RS extra Tax spreads across other brands too

        I wonder how much a brand new, never fitted bumper for an RS2 would be if it came up for sale.

        RS500 a lot rarer than RS2....

        RS tax... is also being applied to Skyline GTR parts too........
        Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird Turbo....undergoing major changes.....
        S2 Coupe... bit easier off the line...
        '03 ZX12-R daily hack.... lots of nice bolt ons...

              and lights and grilles...

              I might start selling RS tomatoes out of my garden next year - Tornado red, 3.15bhp and only £10 each. And RS runner beans anyone? Ragusa green of course

                You'll have to sell them as genuine Laserred then

                      One of three reasons..

                      1) Ignorance
                      2) Desperation to buy hard to source parts
                      3) That fact that navigating around audi tradition website is like hammering 9 inch nails up your nose

                        Most fast Fords seem to reach a point where the prices go mad, it's a function of those who wanted one when they were new and couldn't afford one suddenly have the means and by that point, most cars have rotted or been crashed. RS500s are selling for well over £60k now, so £3k for a bumper, while steep, is getting on for what someone will pay for it. Shame it makes these things totally out of reach for most of us but there we go
