Looks very good.

I've a comment on Scorpion products - they look great, but their prices were and are obscene. Went to the show looking for a tubular winch bumper, and they wanted £330 (approx), which is £100 more than ANYONE else in the show....and apparently there was no discount/show prices. Bit tight me thinks!

Its not Scorpian.
As mentioned above they wanted £330, so went over the road to Rebbel and got it for £250, and the rest of the stuff was well cheper. :D
there stuff looks good but it dosen't take much shopping around to find it cheeper.

Nope, no discount. They said that was the price and then kinda awaited me whipping out my credit card...which i didnt!! It was just a bloke who was there for the show, i did however send him off to check that the price listed was correct and he came back sure that was it!

The 90 looks great.

I use some Scorpion parts.
Springs and DeCarbon's, winch bumper and rock sliders.
No complaints from me on those products.

I've got the scorpion detachable towbar, but for everything else I've gone elsewhere.  I love the Scorpion stuff, but stupidly expensive, and as already said, no discounts at shows, even with a bit of friendly persuading!

Always friendly when I've visited the shop - don't like the fact you have to ask for prices tho!  If they don't do discounts then why not just publish them/mark them in the shop? (or do they think its too expensive?!!)  I'd got a long list of items I fancied, but wanted to price them to prioritise... got a £1500 total at scorpion... priced them from various other suppliers... £800!!

Now found out Discoparts are doing the towbar I paid £200 for for about £140 ish! Doh!

Cheers,
Nat
