i have just ordered a set of these to be shipped to the UK,
including shipping and the inevitable customs charges, it still workes out to be ?95 cheaper than i can get a set over here...how mad is that.
oh well ill get in the que along with you guys.
Hey Dave, how much do you reckon the customs charge will be? was thinking about ordering a splitter and its alot cheaper abroad but wasn't too sure about customs, i think we get charged customs and excise duty and then VAT on the duty.

we just pay 15% on the invoice price....
so if you can get the invoice marked as "replacement parts" or trade sample, or a gift, then you pay nothing.
my friend got them to wrap in birthday paper to be exempt

Sides are shippable using USPS. However, we only ship USPS to any non-US destination, so we recommend that you have a location to ship to in the US and pick them up (then cross the border).

those of you in the UK, sides are no problem, but fronts and rears - no go We have to find a lot of you to make the sea shipment cost effective ($500 for a single pallet which can fit 10 bumpers).

I'll be interested as well in the fitment and paint characteristics being non-OEM. Looking forward to seeing the results.
