As you can see this came in on the 17/05/04 and I'm still yet to take delivery on it, I'm a little concerned that it's got lost!

Hi Kev

looks like the package is still in US if you live in Conneticut you are close, seems it could be still in the depot, but if in UK, could be looking a bit dodgy.cw

[MSC_Kev]

I'm in the UK :)

If I enter the tracking number on the USPS website I get

Your item was delivered at 10:43 am on May 17, 2004 in BRISTOL, CT 06010.

Now I assumed that was the item coming into the UK via Bristol Airport. Why they couldn't have used UPS or any other major courier :(

Well If I don't recieve them in around 2 weeks I will contact the seller and demand a refund

Not really sure about this one, but looking at the UPS Quote where it says Bristol, CT .....I instantly thought of Bristol, Conneticut.

I've just checked and there is one ! :(

Looks like that's where they are mate. Contact the Seller with this info.

Let us all know how you get on.

Good Luck

When you ordered the item, did u specifically say you were from the UK, and did you pay the corresponding extra charges on delivery?

You could contact the courier to see if it has been delivered to Bristol in the US, or Bristol in the UK.

If it is US, then contact the seller, mentioning that tracker number, and saying you contacted the courier and its been delivered in the US. Either he didnt write United Kingdom on the parcel, or the courier severely mucked things up. Either way if he is a genuine and sensible seller he will resend the items. Hopefully all will be ok in the end, good luck!

you know that you need to change grill to fit those lights and also here in europe we got H4 lights...and you need to mod your car to american style..9006 and 9007

yea he knows about the grill, and ur right about the H4 bulbs! the connectors will be different

[MSC_Kev]

Yeah I'm not worried about the electrics side of it as I have a good friend who can help. The grill can most likely be modified to fit the lights and I do have a fibreglass one coming in a full bodykit I expect to take delivery in mid August.

I will contact the courier first, find out exactly what has happened then contact the seller on eBay :)

thanks for the tips guys
