Re: XJ Door Hinge - I'm in trouble!
There should be 2 locations in London. One is at 500 Clarke Road and
the other is at 105 Midpark Rd. Hope this helps. I can get you a price of what you should be paying on Monday. I know some stores hike prices for walk-ins but if you ask for a certain price they will usually give it to you.
