Wanted Aerial grommet

[Tracy Dee]

Hi all.
Just wondered if anyone had a new obsolete aerial rubber grommet they don't want as I need some paintwork so might as well put a new grommet on as the old one might fall apart removing it.
So if any one has one let me know how much you want for it.
It's for a 1997.
Many thanks for reading.

They are £10 from the dealer if that helps.

Thanks that's excellent.

Mine was £5 odd plus vat from the main dealers, double that from ebay sellers!

How long ago? I paid £5 2 years ago and £10 last summer from a dealer.

Retail for the pre-facelift part (65218389698) is £8.45 plus VAT = £10.14

Facelift (65218411562) is £11.10 plus VAT = £13.32.

That's a bit poor. Both my local dealers will take orders over the phone. Sometimes they don't even want payment up front. And it's not like I'm always buying parts and they know me well - I'm in once every couple of months maybe.

Anything special order not in stock or under a tenner they won't take orders over the phone I did offer to pay but no gotta bloody go down there.
Getting my paint done this week so will need it no point putting old one back even though it's not to bad.

Got mine from Sopers last year about £6 plus pence for posting, they are always very helpful and givde discount to Org members. Geoff

I had to get a complete new aerial last year after someone snapped mine off in a carpark, I bought the aerial base, and both grommets from Sopers, the Org discount effectively made the grommets free. No brainer, just contact Sopers.
