Front shock top mount price!!

[NealP]

Looking to change my front strut top mounts on my 172 Cup. Rung my local Renault stealer and they want £62 per side (cant remember if that was inc vat) for the kit !! So about £125 for the pair. From the tone of my voice I think he got the jist it was a bit on the pricey side with that i was informed I could buy the just the rubber bush without the bearing and retaining nut for a bargain £37 plus vat per side so thats about £90 for two rubber bushes....yeah right! I bought a pair of group N mounts for my old 205gti quite a few years ago for under £20. I also needed a rear exhaust mount for the Clio but was too frightened to ask. Anyway rant over...
Does anyone know if there are uprated or aftermarket top mounts avaialble for the 172?? I've done a fair bit of searching but have come up with nothing.

My originals have only done 20K ish and fooked already. Don't fancy spending out on oem stuff if its going to be shot in another 20k which will be in about a year the way I'm clocking up miles at the mo.
