Thread: return of parts

I think legally it's your property, and you're entitled to it. They should ask you before disposing of it. If you're really cranky about it, the dept of fair trading might be worth a call.

There is no need to cut the front bumper for an ARB bullbar on a discovery 4, however in their defence almost everyone leaves them behind so they aren't in the habit of keeping them.

From talking to them they would actually prefer customers took them as they need to pay for their disposal.

Best solution, save yourself the grief of fair trading and just contact come ARB dealers and ask them to call you when another D4 of your year and colour comes in, better yet, wait until you actually want it and you don't have to store it either!

Friend tells me that unless asked to return they bin them. Which costs them to dispose of.

Occasionally they hand a pile off to crash repairers if the repairers approach them...

In my case I fitted my bar myself and just tossed the bumper - they are almost impossible to move on..

Yeah I've seen a number of them for sale on gumtree for $100-$500 and they seem to be the same ones every time.

I gave mine away last week for the cost of a case of beer, no scratches and had lights fitted. I was just happy not to see it go to waste

I was offered the return of my original bumper by ARB in Osborne Park, and told them to dispose of it.

I did keep the original bumper from my D2 though when I had a bar fitted ........... which has recently turned out well for someone in Adelaide who needed one.

I kept the original bumper off the Deafener when the bulbar was fitted thinking I could flog it off.
Doesn't appear to be a market for that sort of stuff so out to the bulk rubbish collection it will go cut into small bits so those that think they'll get something for nothing won't take it.
I did that with a roof rack once just to spite the cheap skate who said "I can only afford $xxx is that enough" ..... about a third of the price it was worth.
Gawd I'm a bad tempered old git.
