What about setting up a group discount? Ie:- go to a parts place/detailer/window tinter and see what prices they charge and if there's a group discount?? Cheeky I know but if you don't ask you don't get! Cool Wink

You mean like a group buy or a forum discount for members in exchange for allowing companies to advertise on the site?

A group buy! You know if 1 exhaust back box is £250 but if there's 10 of us that want one, then see if there's a discount?

This is one of the many reasons I set the forum up. To help Nw owners out, and Nw Company's out etc. That is the reason behind the Traders section. CAD offer all members a 10% discount. Me and Joe are offering parts at trade discounts too.

But yes jay that's a brilliant Idea, I am messaging local companys and letting them know of our existance. I will let ANY company advertise on here as long as they offer a members discount, even if its only to the Gold Members. So any suggestions or contacts are welcome.

Ps JAY were you in Preston yesterday? scratch

Only problem with a group buy is that it relies on people wanting the same part at the same time which would be tricky with such a small forum an a diverse range of cars.

I know what you mean phil but as probably 80-90% of the forum users are in a 3series of some flavour, then you boys will probably benefit more so than the likes of myself! But to be honest what made me start this thread was, there's a thread from the e46 forum on the 5forum about window tinting and if they could get ten then it would of only been £100 each! Which is very cheap! And it's open to any car!! But the only problem is that it's down in middlesex (I think?) so the cost of fuel on top of the cost of the tints doesn't make it economally viable! So I think for thing like tints and remaps and even detailing if we could get the numbers then I think we could get things alot cheaper!!?
A 10% discount is good, don't get me wrong, but I think a group buy would be more in favor of areselves??

yeah its just getting people after the same parts. Or a few of us after parts but the spend goes to the place with the best price so could get away with different parts.

A few of the lads on mine got together as they all wanted performance brake kits.

It could work on stuff like that when theres more of us Very Happy
