Anywhere cheaper than Toyota to buy quarter panel vents?

Post by Rob »

Don't mind cheap used ones if they have all lugs still but certainly don't want to pay Toyota £120 for a pair!

Anyone seem them cheaper?

Yep. Ebay.co.uk search for MR2 sw20 and you find loads of parts. MR-mr2 is a great source.

Just be careful with eBay. Certain 'higher profile' breaker part suppliers have repeatedly sent me parts with so few lugs they can't be fitted. You get what you pay for.

I can confirm that after reading my BGB, they still snapped! Old sun baked plastic I guess. Never mind I will possibly re-fashion the clips or silicone seal them in where the tabs used to be.
