Bodykit - Where to buy?

[DubSteve]

Hey Dan thats Fuzions, but has now since changed that kit, its the anniversary one he had!

PM him where to get it his not banned anymore lol!

Word on the street is that someone bought a certain car, with many things, with some very expensive parts

[fuzion]

Theres 2 Kits.

First pic of my car is the "Votex" Bodykit from VW. fkn is right, it is quite expensive. Front Skirt alone is approx $700, sides about $550ea, and rear about the $400-600 mark once again at DEALER price! Unpainted and unfitted.

I have since changed my front skirt to the anniversary and put the votex one on mels black gti now (as she has anniversary sides, anniversary rear)

snowy and also ydgolf also have the votex and anniversary kits too, maybe they could shed some light on where theres came from as i got mine local...

dub20v is the caractere kit as he said, also quite expensive and needs to be also imported.

www.vwspeed.co.uk, www.awesomegti.com sell these kits, also inmotive.com.au gets in the Caractere Bodykits.

some people get their stock valances sprayed up, or get a 4motion rear (dual cutout for exhaust) (i have one laying around actually if anyones interested)

Unfortunately, the big killer with body-kits is their size and therefore the shipping costs. To get a full kit shipped in from O/S will cost the best part of $1000 just in shipping/insurance/customs charges and then you still have to pay for the kit itself on top of that,..... then get it painted and fitted.

If you buy one from a dealer all those costs will be built-in. From memory, the R32 style full kit from the dealer was around $4000 plus painting and fitting.

I guess you could do it bit by bit but the final cost may end up being even more that way.

Don't be tempted by cheap kits either, the results are usually not what you wanted.

Why would i wanna bring in baking soda???

I dont see why it would be too hard. Ive seen people come and go at the airport with bags upon bags of stuff. Snowboards etc. One guy on Vortex said he bought over 100kg of bike parts and nobody asked any questions!

if its for personal use ,I think they cannot charge you.I brought in a short shifter for my mk3 from neuspeed and I was not charged.but you would have to pay the additional freight charges id say.


carmate??? bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
