Yikes, for some unknown reason it never occurred to me that I'd be charged labour on dealer fit accessories. Is there a standard price/hourly rate or fixed cost per item? I'm getting driving lamps and illuminated door sill strips fitted at the dealer and was quite happy that I'd finally managed to spec my car under £25k but methinks if they're charging labour then it might go over that...
