    This is going to be truly epic.

    I reckon a 40 foot shipping container in orange on BBS RS lowered to the ground will look awesome!

    Box and contents arrived around the 23rd July, a couple days later than scheduled.

    Customs and quarantine all done, got the call to go collect the car

    Tilt tray and myself roll up to find LH front wheel has hit the front guard causing damage. All tyres are flat as the car was a top load, deflating allows more clearance against the underside of the container. Unfortunately that didnt help, as close inspection showed the roof to have some paint damage !!

    Good thing is all the loose stuff in the car is still intact. ( factory a/c set up, complete 16V Silicon hose set, 3 Wolfsburg wheels )

    Getting quotes for the paint repairs and then will see where we go from there...





    Having to do the repaint loses the advantage i had of bringing the car across..... pissed off yes...

    Absolutely Luke. Got the first quote set at ~$1900 for the fix so far...May yet take a shipping credit insted tho... see what options are available.

    Looks like I will take the front guards of as there is some crap underneath that needs seeing to as well.
