    Because Boge is a German Company and we associate Germany with quality.

    cough, cough...........

    I think you will find that adding 56% to a price and a 56% discount do not come to the same amounts.

    £100 +56% = £156.
    £156 less 56% = 68.64
    I think they would need to add 127.27% to their prices

    I have had too much wine, but, you know!

    Had an email response from VeeWee this morning.

    They said that as Boge is a German company they can advertise everything they make as German.

    They have no control if Boge the parent company choose to make some parts in other countries.

    In the circumstances I think it would be more accurate to describe the shock absorbers as of German Quality.

    I want to stress I’m happy with the shock absorbers and the service I’ve had from VeeWee but as I said before, I don’t like being mislead.

    If VeeWee described what you have bought as ‘front and rear German shock absorber kit’ that’s exactly what you have received but if they said ‘Manufactured in Germany’ then you have been misled.

    They’re on now. V happy with them so far.

    VeeWee were cheaper than anyone else I could find.
