you would be charged the import tax on it, i think it might just be 17.5% or whatever like VAT over here.

As recently i ordered marker pens for uni from america and had to go to the post office and pay the tax before I could get them.

Didn't jim order his current "new" bumper of these guys?

i.e. the one he said was a pap fit so he's gettin rid of it...

ah right, forgot about the tax! if jims got his from here and it was a crap fit then i suppose its best to be wary of em

i guess that's true bout the disclaimer but jim's not best pleased w. his job, and judging from what he said it was more due to the bumper than the bodyshop being crap.

also in regard to the tax i think its +10% for UK import duty tax, then +17.5% for VAT, thieving swines! :ffs:

say about £235. Guess u will make a little savin if u get this.

I'm considerin some other stuff off there tho.

Mite have to scout the boards there and c what the problem was, also get some feedback on their products.

yeah would be worth looking into why, incase it wa a big dispute ove quality o soemthing similar.

[JappyBeast]

Rogue Systems will be selling border 'style' bumpers soon and they will fit.

[ZeroBlade]

i know that m8. But this'd be a bit cheaper.

That's not the main thing tho. I'm lookin to some other stuff off there 2, cos the car would look weird if it were all stock, then w. that front bumper!

I like them bomex wing mirrors, whaddya reckon type 1 or 2?

check that do-luck front bumper, not bad but a bit 2 jagged for the 2 methinks...

-Z

[Titto]

got a pic of those wing mirrors?

[ZeroBlade]

Sorry m8.

TYPE 1:

TYPE 2:

there ya go.

And err io meant the ab-flug style front bumper not the do-luck

That's a nice subtle look :) as it the rear. quite pricy tho...

[ZeroBlade]

okey dokey.

Checked booststore out over at MR2OC it wasnt good.

The guy was a rite ****** when it came to customer care, most of the stuff was damaged / bad fit etc. There were a couple of satisfied buyers, but lucked like sheer luck.

Due to the poor service plus him being an absolute tit he got banned from their forums, hence the removal of the discount.

So its a no-go i reckon.

It doesn't make much of a difference cos inc. shipping tax etc the saving on the bumper wouldnt have been that much.

Another option for side mirrors are Ganador side mirrors, they do clear lense, blue lense, carbon fibre, and chrome.

Sard also do some Aero mirrors for the MR2 but Im having trouble finding pics :(

ah yeh i've come acroos those b4. i can't make my mind up about them tho! lol

[JappyBeast]

I think only the stock mirrors suit the MR2.

[ZeroBlade]

i thawt that at first but they're very "sticky-outy" the more i loo ka em, lol. hence i like those others cos they're compact.

[Jimlad]

I think the same.

If you're sitting in your car and look at your mirrors.. they do actually look quite big.

[Bibbs]

I like the long thin mirrors .. means I can see who I'm about to carve up and leave for dust ..

thats what the rear view mirror is for, they're not worth seeing ;)

[JappyBeast]

Chaps at toyota spend zillions perfecting the door mirror.. if you think it sticks out too much then hit the magic 'fold in' button!

[Bibbs]

thats what the rear view mirror is for, they're not worth seeing 

I can't see out of that .. with the scoops, spoiler etc ..

[ZeroBlade]

jappy: i don't have the magic button o nmy uk n/a, bah!

bibbs: heh fair point, i'd forgotten about them.

still, i think them other mirrors help make the 2 that little bit sleeker!
