eBay.co.uk: GENUINE P1 SPOILER ***BARGAIN NO RESERVE*** (item 160123686123 end time 07-Jun-07 19:52:03 BST)

Asked the seller of the above item if he had any proof he ownes/d a P1 as I didn't want to bid on a potential stolen item and all I got back was a sarcastic reply.

A P1 spoiler was stolen and listed on Ebay a few months back I believe.

Bidders beware.

 

ever noticed how many spot light covers there are on ebay, it's a bit sus, hmmm. dan

 

is every P1 part on ebay stolen then?

dantastic have you ever noticed how every P1 made came with two sets of spot light covers? or at least they were an option, the standard sti style covers, and the ones with the holes for the spot lamps

If I ever sell my Genuine UK 22B rear spolier on ebay, no doubt I will expect a spanish inquistion and accused of theft too or at least that it was a stolen one

I dont own a 22b, but when I first bought the rear spoiler, lets just say some investigations were done by one member on here

 

he does say MY P1 spoiler from MY P1 does he not

 

don't get me wrong m8 im not saying all covers on ebay are stolen but a lot of covers for new age cars do go missing, and some not all will end up on ebay. did the new age come with two sets?

 

Only the P1 AFAIK

There are quite a few people selling copies too on Ebay, and there are also a number of companies that sell sti style fog lamp covers both on ebay and the net in general

 

I think it's a fair enough question to ask. I've had a rear sti spoiler stolen from me which was no doubt sold on at some point. So I want to be careful I'm not contributing to someone elses misery with a 'fenced' item. Especially with the low feedback, and that a very similar stolen item was listed on Ebay a few months back.

The P1 spot covers. I bought a brand new P1 and it came with the covers, I've still got them in a drawer.

The uk 22b spoiler. I'd deem that reasonable too if you were asked for proof it was genuine or not stolen. Incidently, how does a uk 22b spoiler differ from an import spec 22b spoiler. I've only had the uk 22b car so cannot make a comparison

 

LOL, I've kept mine when I traded it into a garage, they never asked for them, so I never gave them away. They'll never go on ebay though!

 

I can understand with the guy only having 1 previous feedback, and shouting in his ad, but still I think the next time someone asks me about the origins of my 22b Spoiler I think I would give them a sarcastic reply too, especially if they were asking for proof I own or owned a 22b

The Police were involved in the discussions of the whereabouts of mine, because someone said 'oh that looks like mine' well im sorry but they all look the same

So I take great offence now if anyone ever questions the parts I have

 

So are you selling this 22b spoiler? I'm looking for a high level one

 

Think the question has to be asked

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO SELL YA REAR SPOILER FROM YOUR P1?

Unless your breaking the car, but the only spoiler that suits a P1 is a P1 spoiler

 

He says he is selling it due to an accident with a lamp post, but isn't it strange he isn't selling any other bits if he's stripping it?

(Unless it was a ver very big crash and there is nothing else left of the car )

 

notice the name of the high bidder. doesnt he reside on here?

everyone thinks everything on ebay is sus - nothing is new here

 

might have a cheeky bid then...

 

I did hear of a stolen P1 in this area last year though I wonder where in Wycombe he is.

 

I asked the seller if there was any damage to the underside of the spoiler (ie had it been ripped off). Here is the reply:

"im gona b honest wid u mate,whn i had da accident i wasnt insured so i had quickly take of everything befor the cops got there..only two clips r broken from under the spoiler,but its nothing major n apart from that its 100%.."

Make of that what you will.

£225 was V cheap

 

That reply is about as suspect as you can get. I wouldn't trust it at all.

 

why would you take everything of cos the cops were coming, was he going to deny owning it or say it was pinched

 

No-one with that standard of english could possibly afford to own a P1...

 

agree,would u drive a p1 with no insurance ?

for the fear of it being nicked u`d insure it !!

 

listen mate im paid from the neck down and i own a p1 so what you trying to say

 

 

Why does every part from a rare car have to be stollen? Loads of LC parts come up and they are like rocking horse ****, most are from written off cars or cars that are a bit rough around hte edges and tend to make more money in bits.. will be the same with the P1, if you've go ta P1 thats a bit of a dog it will make more profit breaking it up!

 

Read BOB'5's post and decide for yourself mate. Methinks there is something fishy which is why I retracted my bid of £225.

 

Just read the reply BOB'5 received. The listing is very suspicious indeed and I really do hope it hasn't been stolen. The reason the seller gave is very weird.

 

how many of you want a P1 spoiler

NO ONE

well why are you harkin on about this damn spoiler, i bet you all love a bargain on quiet, and when you get one of ebay you'll keep it damn quiet
so why the moral high ground all of a sudden

if your not interested leave the poor ****** alone

and get some work done, while someone is paying you wages,!!!!

 

Anyone who buys anything stolen is just encouraging more crime, IF this spoiler is stolen (and the seller certainly doesn't do anything to dispell the idea!) then anyone with a Subaru buying it is just encouraging the thieving ****** to go and rip off someone elses and so the cycle will continue.
