Because they are very popular and new ones cost a lot.

Why buy half leathers when you can buy full leathers for probably £50 more but in far better condition.

I agree completely, but it's supply/demand
I've tried to haggle on here a few times to try and get plastic parts cheap but the simple fact is, with arches especially, they're in demand, try getting a leather binicle for less than £60 that's hard enough lol

Saw an sp front grill go for £21 on eBay the other day, just about keeping an eye out for a bargain, I'm after a sp bumper but not paying an extra £60 on top of the price of a normal one for two fog lights, then again I am a tight a**e

I found some arches in almost perfect condition the other day (whilst looking for a new gear knob)
Unfortunately they were tiger sealed and bolted on so they weren't coming off, damn it!

For some odd reason people seem to want SP arches.
I still think they look s**te.

just save more money? keep saving untill you have got enough. simple.
and as for the looks, they are chavvy i think, but on the flip side, they complete a car. all the extras and so on. i've got 3 on my car  some little s**t ran off with the front passenger. luckly the other three are bolted on so abit more secure. i'm iff'ing and are'ing wether to just remove them or buy the one i need.
but yes, eBay is a great place sometimes, other times it's a right rip off.

Hmmm this post is old but compltly forgotten about, but i dont see why a small plastic piece costs sometimes over £40 just why, and its the same as sp grills and all the sp stuff i know its nicer ect but the price difference sometimes is stupid!!!!!
