As someone who has tried bodykits and still has some in stock you need to be very very very careful with the quality. We actually visited the factory and watched them make kits before deciding to go ahead with an order. Our factory made kits for Veilside so we got to see first hand their construction techniques and how thick the fibreglass was. Sorry to say ,but at the prices that you have quoted I would not expect to them to be of a very high quality (ie very thin fibreglass). You also need to take into account that there will be breakages when they are shipped as they tend to just lay them in a container and the port guys are not very careful with the cranes. Have you fully sorted the costs out yet? If you are doing a container (which is generally how the Chinese operate on minimum orders), you are up for at least $3k straight away for shipping costs which does not include any MAF or associated charges. As you are not a recognised importer I would hazard a guess that MAF will stop the container to check it which = more $$$. Have you got MAF approved facilities to unload the container? Where are you going to store the goods? Bear in mind that there are also detention charges on containers if you do not get them back within 5 days. Managed warehousing is probably best for you in that you only pay for the amount of room you use and as you sell more the cost comes down bcause you are using less warehousing. We also imported PU body kits. PU is a flexible plastic and far superior to FRP. We actually watched a guy fold it in half before letting it go back to shape and fitting it again. The downside is that it require more care (flexible primer) when painting, but the fit and finish of them is excellent . I am not having a go at you Heino, I just want to make sure you are fully aware of all the "hidden costs". Having done this now for over 6 years and jumping through hoops for MAF we know all about the hidden pitfalls.

I dopn't think they are genuine for a couple of reasons. 1. E46 M3 are all staggered and the offset is not factory. 2. No genuine BMW wheels came with a 40ET. Unfortunately our reps are only currently available in 5 series fitment. Edit; I think we sold them to him actually.

As others have said I wouldn't be using palmolive. Car wash and a sponge is best for regular cleaning. What exactly is on there? If it is brake dust it is more than likely ingrained and will not come about without some major remedial work. Have you tried bug and tar remover?

Happy Birthday Glenn. Hope you have a good one!

Very nice! I have 19" 997 Turbo reps in stock if you so desire

+1 to the massive photos! Those offsets are E46 M3 offsets. They will not bolt on to any other 3 series without large amounts of guard work on the rear.The rears will fit an E39 but you will more than likely have to bore the centres out and the fronts will require spacers.

Someone is going to get a bargain!! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-329544180.htm The tyres on their own are worth more!!

Spacers + Cert = $$$$$$ I have wheels on the water .

buy this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-327388892.htm

Are you in Auckland? I am sure ours is an AC shcnitzer kit. You are welcome to come and have a look at it. Blackie - we also have Schnitzer style side skirts in stock cheers Johno Edit: Spelling

sorry to hijack your thread Heino but i have an E65 kit in stock. Which model 7 do you have?

What about this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-323203832.htm

yes but Westy has e46 running gear in his - totally different offset to the E30

HAHA - how do you come up with the .71? my calcs say 9mm further out than the 17's

The population of this country is 4 million 2 million are retired, that leaves 2 million to do the work There are 1.5 million at school / university leaving 500,000 to do the work Of those, 450,000 are "employed" by the govt, so there's only 50,000 to do the work 4000 are in Armed Forces, busy trying to catch Osama which leaves just 46,600 to do the work Take from that total the 10,000 unemployed people and, at any given time 18,800 people are in hospitals, leaving 17,800 to do the work. Currently we have 17,798 people in prisons. That just leaves 2 people, you and me. And there you are sitting on your a$$!!

Did anyone also notice that the majority of the deaths at the weekend were on 'b' roads rather than the main highways that the police were targeting?

Has been going on, on a certain south auckland farm since ages ago

what size tyres are you looking for? This will help in determining what is available

Are you just grumpy because you missed out on it Mark?

It really isn't glamourous work and can be physically exhausting, especially when we have a 40FT High Cube of tyres ( almost 1500 tyres). I might have missed it in the original post but when exactly do you finish school? We have a container arriving early next week and always on the look out for extra hands

Your muffler is not considered a structural point. Structural points are generally chassis rails or cross members (or the sump in your case ).. Most BMW kits do lower the front more than the rear and tend to even out the "stance".

We have some containers starting to come through in the next few weeks, you are welcome to come and help unload. We pay even pay you - haha

haha - me too. The Onehunga library cafe is literally 5 mins walk from my house and they had a similar deal a few days ago.

I just got forwarded a link to this website http://www.grabone.co.nz/auckland they have some pretty wicked deals - check out today's. Already 4500 tickets to Snow Planet sold!! you can also go to other regiosn to check out more deals I have subscribed!
