Right we all love a bit of a bargain so whats the best bargain you have had.
Mine was today i went to the scrap yard to find someone had scrapped an xnd they had converted to td, in the process they fitted the chaviest matt black bonnet with bonnet vent lol. But me being on the hunt i found it had a complete set of TA Technix coilovers on and a straight through pipe from turbo.
After some haggling i got got the complete coilover set for £30 and the straight through exhaust pipe (no boxes) for £20  gotta love the chavs lol.
anyone else?

The scrapyard near me charged me 50 for half leaner interior, which isn't all bad. But they also charged me 10 quid for one indicator!

Not really scrap yard. more of a halfords bargain.
They somtimes have clearance bins and they had a set of spax lowring springs for a "volvo".
I asked them what volvo for as they were £10! they said they didnt know.
So i bought them. Stuck the product number in google and they came up as vaxhal omega estate springs.
Stuck them on the bay and got £120 for them!
