Front fog lights WTF

[Luke2184]

So my girl is being pampered & I’ve taken the bumper off to fit my nice new passenger side fog light, I bought it last year £40 Amazon

So I decide the drivers side now looks s**t I’ll get one quick. Nope I cannot get the merilli version all out of stock and ohh there now £115.

What is going on in this world
The cruise control stick was £80 last year now it’s £130

Z4 Owners are being shafted

Rant over.

Brexit might have a part to play... All this stuff is coming in from Europe.

I've also needed a pair of front fog lights for years now, but can't bring myself to pay what's needed. Especially as they're not MOT failure points and I don't actually use them!

I agree but it’s been bugging me as I had the bumber resprayed & they let it down a lot

Can't recall the cruise stalk ever being that cheap. Just checked and its £107.82 with free shipping.

take them out entirely. front brake cooling is far more beneficial than front fog lights, which i believe are practically useless.

Sod it, hot sopy water & heat gun, that’s it I’m not buying an overpriced new one.

Caparts4less £60 each (inc 20% discount). Only passengers in stock at the moment though.

FWIW don’t fret the extra few quid on cruise control. If you drive like I do, it is such as good mod. Just go for it, they are never going to get any cheaper.

Fog lights are utter turd. Just order the blank plates and be gone with them. :fuelfire:
