No, this is an on-going auction and it still hasn't end yet. I bet it will be more than Eur334 at the end. Good luck.
D are the welded plates the same size on the rh as the lh?
thanks

manhattan is over-priced, but undergoing a correction
if you work on the island Taikoo is good, get the seaview ones.
Sorrento is nice and cheap now abt5900-6300 for ave,
ask Stanley as he lives in that cluster
check the midland property site out
go for Grand Promenade or it also depends on if u have kids... then you gotta check the schoolwebsites out first
5900-6300 for Sorrento is cheap bo! Hopefully I can get it for around $4000 next year but I'm sure a lot of HK bro are going to kill me if I say that. I'm going to be work from home so district doesn't bother me much, as long as I'm in the city. But I'm going to send my 3 years old to international school so I've to find a school for her then maybe look for a house closer to that area. Any international schools you guys recommend too?

Billhk here a tip
If you what the same look and size, you will need to go to the scrap yard and find 1 there for about $400 and cut it to fit.
other wise it is very hard to get the same from a shop
For me this is what I would do.

AK install within half hour if without error code.

It should fit for year 2006, Wire harness can shop from member around 360.00USD include shipping charge.

We can get the steering wheel first and shop the wire harness later on. Some of buddies in same case.

But that is not the end price, auction keep on going. Good Luck

about $700 to $1500 depends on how bad it is.
If to what a good paint job done it has to be at lest 2 to 3 days at lest.
If not then they are rushing it and it will peel off after a year or so.
If they can do it in 4 hours this means itis very bad news
1. they dont have alot of car on the go.
2. they dont leave it to 100% dry, I know they use a light to dry it but that only makes the surface paint hard and it still be a bit soft undernef.
when I respray my I always ask the shops how long would it take and if it is not 3 days or over then I just walk away.

In the end it is you love 1 so give it the best or at lest very good treatment.

I was going to send my kids to international school, but alot of ppl say it dose more bad than good to the kid.
but of course there are some good 1s but very hard to get in.
Ask Billhk he is the pro on the kids school
