anything I've ordered from ears seem to take an age to be delivered, and arrives looking like it's second hand. Are they second hand?

you could try posting this query on Maxed ... it's full of Max heads, so I'm sure they'll probably know of the best suppliers!!

www.wingswest.com
www.erebunicorp.com

why order from a middle man, when you can order direct, quicker and cheaper.

Have you ordered from the second one? I noticed a special on a golf kit, curious about shipping charges. They said they ship to airports, but at what cost? Cheers.......

ondafly · 18-07-2003 11:39am

the kit on my car was ordered from Wingswest and took 10 days to arrive from the USA, as opposed to ordering from other places, which seem to then go through msionline, who then in turn only place an order when they can fill a container, 6 months down the line your kit arrives.

WingsWest and Erebuni both make the same kits, try wingswest for the golf kit - as i saw a new one on their site recently

Shipping etc will be the same price from whoever you order

patch · 18-07-2003 11:58am

Thanks for that, but could you give me an idea on the cost for shipping? For 270eurons erebunicorp have a kit for my mark 3!

kdevitt · 18-07-2003 12:04pm

Shipping will be close enough to the same amount again I'd imagine, and you'll more than likely get stung for duty too because the package will be large...

Your best bet is to phone up to find out - exchange rates are favourable at the moment too

That's a shame....... kinda defeats the purpose.

kdevitt · 18-07-2003 12:29pm

Shipping could be way less than that, so don't take my word as gospel! Whatever happens, you'd get the bodykit cheaper than its available over here.

I'll give them a buzz sure. 270 is an amazing priceTBH.

kdevitt · 18-07-2003 1:03pm

Can't see any kit for $270 there...

Is it the wide arch kit for $2700 you're interested in???

patch · 18-07-2003 1:46pm

Sorry mate, 300$, converts to almost 270eoro! above the wide arch one.....

kdevitt · 18-07-2003 1:49pm

Ah ok , excellent - was getting worried about you soddomizing your golf with a wide arch kit!!

Its a very good price alright - although have you tried Otto in Ranelagh for similar kits??? Their prices are very competitive usually...

patch · 18-07-2003 2:20pm

I havent, do they have a website? I'm in Galway you see.....
By the way, the origional bumpers on my golf are the crappy plain ones....I'm on the look out for some colour coded ones. I plan on giving Traynors a buzz, but if you know of any......

kdevitt · 18-07-2003 2:29pm

Otto are in Ranelagh in Dublin, but they have a place in the West as far as I remember, their web site isn't live any more. You can phone them on 496 7203

I'd try and get the GTi kit for your car if you can - really looks well. Other places to try and German & Swedish - www.gsfcarparts.co.uk and Euro Car Parts - www.eurocarparts.com

patch · 18-07-2003 2:49pm

Thanks for all the help mate. Just check that www.gsfcarparts.co.uk link again, can't get it to work.

I'm trying to avoid spending much cash. I not after a specific kit, just one that looks well enough.

kdevitt · 18-07-2003 2:55pm

Sorry, its www.gsfcarparts.com

The GTi kit would really make the car look smart - I'd phone Otto first - they're extremely helpful, then compare prices with the other two places!

patch · 18-07-2003 3:03pm

I'll have a look at the GTI kit, I'll make a few calls on monday

tinofapples · 21-07-2003 10:32am

Patch69 ,
Otto have a place in Galway , it's in the Liosban Industrial Estate .

patch · 21-07-2003 5:24pm

Really? Is it called Otto's? I know of one place in liosban, But I've heard a few horror stories.

tinofapples · 22-07-2003 7:58am

Yes it's called Otto , whats the place you've heard off ?

patch · 22-07-2003 2:43pm

It wasn't called otto. It's down near the car stereo place if you know where that is....

Would you believe a mate of mine saw a few sheets of parts I printed off, and out of the blue mentioned Otto!

I'll check it out as soon as I get a bit of time off.

No, it only took a few seconds. If you think that's genius, you should see some of my other work...

padraigmyers · 23-07-2003 11:20am

I've seen some of herbies other work, he truly is a work of art, I've only been
knocking around the boards for a few weeks, but already I had him kinda marked out
as a troll, whenever he is involved in an argument I tend to not read the tread, it will
be drivile.

Anyway, cheers for the great contribution again herbie, up to your usual standard!:o
