Hey all,
Was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas. I can't find a reliable source for body kit (mtech, spoilers, etc.) locally. The official dealer wants to charge me 5,000US for an un-painted, un-installed Mtech kit. Basically, they want me to follow them into an alley so they can stick it to me.
Shipping these sorts of things from the US usually means I'm paying close to the sale amount in shipping.
Anyone know of options? Either ways I can purchase from US and have the product shipped here from Asia (where most of this stuff comes from anyway), or a different shipping method that isn't so bloody expensive (even if it takes longer)?
Been looking for a kit for going on 2 years now. Gave up for the most part but I'm back to having the bug! Any advice is highly appreciated .

Take a look at http://www.salesafter.eu/ and ask about the shipping. They sell only OEM stuff and their mtech kit is ridiculously cheap!

Asked for price for shipping to Riyadh as well. No reply yet so will keep you informed.
I can ship an entire car to the UAE from the east coast for 3kUS. A bit of plastic costs like half that. Hell, my RPI exhaust was only a couple of hundred.
There has just got to be a better way. Maybe a partnership with a local after-market shop? I can set up some connections. Ship a pallet or something with half a dozen kits? I'm sure they'll sell like hot-cakes if the price is right. Shipping within the ME is reasonable so it's a pretty wide market once the product gets here.
I also need a front splitter and a spoiler .
