brand new saloon roofbars off fb

vincentfishing · 25th September 2015, 08:43

Just took delivery of my first purchase of facebook, never really used it to search and buy, but after stumbling onto an ad for roofbars, have in my hands an unused ,boxed set for £40 pound plus postage(dont know what the going rate is or if it was a good deal)see pic, well pleased.

That sounds like a very good deal to me, well done

FB is actually really good for finding bargains on the MG Rover selling pages. I picked up a set of brand new original side skirts which had never been fitted for £80, I think my RH exhaust heatshield I got for £60 posted last year. Got a few other bits here and there too

only thing i found awkward was i could only pm the seller if i joined the 'fb group', is there a way around this ?

I'm not sure, I thought you could PM anyone on facebook even if they're not a "friend".

I paid about the same for my boxed set bought from Holland, though mine have been used a few times.
The round bolt-seats will probably split if you over-tighten the bolts or maybe even if you don't. I've got to knock something up out of rubber for mine. Not too difficult.
