Asking for help

[Petrus]

I am at my wits end so humbly asking for help from the community here.

As many of you may have read, I am looking for a cf or lightweight grp bonnet either OEM or vented, ideally rear deck.

Seibon is prohibitive in both product price and shipping.

The other manufacturers based i the UK I simply cannot reach 

Maybe it´s my mailaddres, maybe the server location but I am not getting replies and I check my spambox religiously.

The obvious is calling but thát is a challenge on it´s own from the mountains with véry poor coverage and have not had a suitable opportunity to call from elsewhere.

Last hurdle is that I am not on Facebook or other.

Fingers crossed the collective knowledge here can help find a source/solution.

Thanks.

Fensport have frunk lids listed at the moment, in CF.

Dropped them a mail about shipping. Thanks.

No worries. If you get stuck or they give you a crazy price, give me a shout and should be able to help. Have good rates with FedEx as I ship a few items internationally with them every day at work.

Edit: Just had a quick measure / check, as long as the box size is below a certain size which is marginally bigger than the bonnet lid, would be about £65.

Double WOW!

Thanks for that regardless of which way it goes.

Did you try HZDynamics? Their bonnet comes in stock periodically (I'm talking half a year at least), are you referring to them with the lack of e-mail response?

Yes, found those and made enquiries through the contact page on their website. Would have that one right now with Adam´s gréat shipping offer/solution!!

Have now sent them an email as well. Thanks for reminding me.

I would pay TODAY for either. Prefer the HZD in race-light as it is quite a bit more affordable and/but would be over the moon with the Seibon too as that ís top notch quality.

Right, the sun is warming the ambient temp up a bit. Have the rear of the car on stands so we (my son and I) can fit the Whitelines. Would be way quicker on my own but the father & son time is very much worth any extra anything.

[Petrus]

Btw guys.
Have my hopes up again; YESSS!!!!
Fingers crossed it gets sorted before any Brexitshit complicates shipping

True to previous experiences; not a word from either yet...

I got my front splitter from HZ, I seem to remember having to ring them up to get a response.

I arranged to pick it up on a cross country trip and it was all ready and the pickup went smoothly though once ordered.

Hmmm. Not thát simple for me :-(

Have made an account, used their contact page, sent email. That is all I can do for the moment.

Maybe next week I will have access to a land line.

If you have access to the Internet use Skype to call them.

If you have access to the Internet use Skype to call them.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Don´t use it because the connection is too slow. Could try from the language acadamy in the village; they have optic fiber.

Enjoying x-mas. A lót 

Today ´moved home´ again. Car was in the sun so folded the top down, took my time warming the engine up, enjoyed the rides só much.
Arrived 11.30 in the mountains. Ice on the water thoughs, frost on the green (thus now white) and the cars all white.
Fire inside roaring hmmmm....

Anyway; the suspension is spot on now. Looking forward to adding more lightness.
So positive thoughts; no post Brexit levies and from 7 Jan they will probably be back at work. Even have some extra budget    Depending on whether cf or grp, I am contemplating lexan for the windscreen 

[Petrus]

Despite Adam´s efforts no dice.
The ´free trade´ has some sharp edges as it does not mean no customs. Shipping, VAT rules and country of origin mess the cost up.
Ordering from the US would be cheaper! Weird and for at least the moment it is not going to happen.
Tant pis. Was réally looking forward to it.
Thanks Adam, much appreciated.

HZ Dynamics does not respond to the phone either.

Meanwhile several friends whom have received their usual UK products from the UK have discovered that they need to pay VAT on UK produce and also duties on goods with other origins. Íf customs forms have been included just as Adam confirmed.
Quite a few have had their parcels returned because it lacked customs papers or infringed food stuff regulations.

Not complicated really; simply the same as from the RoW; Japan, Oz, US, Mexico et al, which we furthermore were quite aware of.
Same for those UK side ordering from the EU: Make sure the correct paperwork is attached and beware of VAT! Just like ordering JDM stuff.
