I wouldn't think so.
Even at 50% off they would be overpriced.

Hi Guys, just a thought for the day!

Sorry to say this but why support an English company, there are a lot good Irish owned performance and styling shops around.

For example, Suped is located just 1 minutes drive off the Nass Road and is a new performance, sound, styling etc... shop. It was just opened before Christmas and have some really great deals, especially on alloys (+tyres).

Exact directions and pictures of the shop are located on their site: www.suped.ie

Suped is owned by two Irish Guys (2 Irish Owners X 100 Irishness = 200% Irish Owned)

Logical :rolleyes:

Cut the crap. Halfords is hardly performance and styling shop .Yeah, Suped is owned by two Irish Guys selling non Irish goods, big deal. R u looking for free advertisement or something?

I can't see any reason to specifically support an Irish company merely because they're Irish (obviously the outlandish takingthemickey profits stay in the country unless they're spent on a beach in Barbados but I'm not greatly pushed at the best of times). Those evil English companies tend to hire people from here to work in their shops so to a certain extent and all prices being equal (and let's face it, they often aren't) there isn't much of a difference for me whether the profits go to Halford's (for example) or the BMW factory/ice-cream sellers on a sunny beach.

Man that suped.ie site could do with some work, I can select options on the left but nothing when the pictures come up. Pictures of blue neon stuff is what I am looking for mate, especially in strips all along the wheel arches like Back to the fut0r3!!!
