In your quote above you have those parts listed so it's still saving money on the unit itself as the bumper doesn't come from LR with anything on it Wink

Read the small print, fitting is on another auction...

The only way to keep costs down is to buy in bulk from an understanding dealer... That's what most do...

having priced up everything they offer in that kit, they are a good price although can't be making much money.

As for dealing direct with CAT, you can't. www.duckworthparts.co.uk

There are a few parts missing from your list, like front wheel arch splash guards (inner arches to you) front bumper support panel...

A little secret to save you a few quid is to buy 06> Ford Transit front fog lights. Same lamp but at half the price! Come in the same brown box from Valeo...

I know Caterpillar as a manufacturer for industrial equipment.
There is also a Caterpillar distribution company which is a handling company ( storage and transport) for parts, any make; in my town there is a Cat distribution center who distributes parts for chrysler through Europe.
You can't buy any part with them. RR 2012MY TDV8 AB ipanema sand

Yeah the Thai ones. Thing is i bet right UP CLOSE you could tell they were fakes, but on the car even after washing them i bet anyone would be hard pressed to spot it.
