Whats it worth

J13NY S · 24-10-2012, 07:17 PM

Just wondering do any of you know what I would get for the CSL airbox & all that comes with it.

As you can see a few threads down there is a small bit of lacquer damage on the airbox on my CSL, it will probably never be anything more than cosmetic but I’m very fussy & like things to be right so I’m contemplating changing it, everyone including my local dealer thinks I’m mad but like I say I’m very particular.

What I’m wondering is, what could I potentially get for the old one?

Why not just change the part that's damaged,rather than the whole airbox and all that comes with it.

Or remove the airbox, get it rubbed down and relacquer?

£3000 for everything inc all pipework is what the going rate is.

Repairing / relaquering that would be no different to relaquering the splitters, I'd expect to pay around £100 to have it sorted out.

Might be worth popping the car into a bodyshop to show them the issue and asking what they'd do.

Ya I need to take it of the car & get a look at it, but think I'd refer to replace it regardless.

Thought it might be easier sold as a unit... maybe not, hard to know.

Which part is it? Air collector or unfiltered air housing (part that connects to control unit)?
