What's retail on an undamaged one of those. About £250?
And how much do those V8 engine covers sell for?
I broke a stud on one of mine, and they look a bit tired anyway.
And just an idea, but if you had prices on your website for smaller individual items like that, people might be more inclined to order them "off the shelf" as replacement parts when the originals fail (as they do).
Generally, if i have to phone people up to get a price on a part, i tend to move on to other places where the price of the part is viewable.
Helps to make the decision either way if the price is in front of me.
Just a psychological thing i guess.
Those aluminium intake ducts look so much better than the standard items, they may even become a "must have" permenant solution, if the prices are not too steep.

I've never had to modify or repair an intake duct before so I have no familiarity with these silicone hoses and various connectors to make them fit in circumstances such as ours. Since you apparently have such knowledge, I asked for your specific assistance with components and part numbers. When I have knowledge and the associated part numbers regarding a specific topic that someone asks about, I try to provide that information because I realize how much it can help someone who is unfamiliar with the issue. I'm sorry to learn that you simply cannot be bothered to do so in this instance, and I promise that I will not ask you again....
1. I am not a librarian or parts counter person at anyone's beck and call.
2. Your negative tone towards those who have tried to make suggestions.

Same pipe does XK8s, Rs, and will do XJs as well although I have not fitted one to an XJ before but can not see no reason why not......
The slightly dented one is going for £100 which is less than half price plus shipping
Looks just like this one
Found another pic with an XKR

Prices for the induction pipe is on the website as is everything we do unless it has to be made specific then we ask for you/customer to email us with there own requirements and we price accordingly....
I don't offer replacement "standard" parts as a norm unless they are a enhanced replacement e.g. quad pipes for singles or they are required to fit something we do especially where the 05/06 conversions are concerned
