[Bmx_Bandit]

[Kirton]

[Bmx_Bandit]

Pics tomorrow.
It was £97.00 + £25.00 shipping ish .....

But i got done for import duty, cos it was a big package. Got my March badge tax free though.

If you go to www.Japanparts.com in the March K12 section, all the items with new line beside them, he has added for me.
This is the most helpfull company ever Just call Ken or Graeme and they will get literally anything for you.

 

[Kirton]

[Bmx_Bandit]

[Fordy]

oh dear what a job youve made yourself when your changing the air filter

looks sweet tho

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Cheers guys. I love it.
There is little to no understeer on the car at all now.
I did the roundabout test and the car just grips like hell, then if you lift off you can get the rear end twitching

I got hit with Import Tax on my strut brace too.. anyway, looking good!!

 

[Kirton]

Import tax is a disgrace i reckon. How does the government get off charging us for #### we've bought in a different country!? it's got EDITED all to do with them! lol. Think I'm gonna get hit with it when my wheels come sometime this week. :doh:

 

[Arnold]

Try and get the sender to mark it as a gift, if its not too late.. that way all charges will be evaded.

 

[Kirton]

Yeah I got them to mark the box's as gift like, but a dunno if it will wash with them since there 4 big box's, and hardly look like a gift. lol!

 

[Fordy]

marking them as gift doesnt work anymore on big things, only small sized boxes which could actually pass as a gift

 

[Bmx_Bandit]

Robbing ******** is correct enough!

But what can you do????

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Oh wow, I want one, nearly £150 is a bit much for me though.

Looks superb though!

How was it to fit? Is it literally a case of unbolting the bolts at the top of the suspension turret, putting the brace on and bolting back up? Or is there more to it? I always wonder if the suspension is gonna move or something... :S

 

[CALI]

Are there any front strut braces for the k10 from the place you bought yours?

 

[The Mad Hatter]

BMX_Bandit, can you give me a weblink or a company name/number? I've tried Googling and can't find anything...also, did it fit without moving anything?
