don’t get why everyone is stating the obvious, I no there is the possibility of paying tax etc but as I stated on my 1st post when I pulled out of the group buy it was due to the time scale issues not anything to do with bob etc. the idea of 4 more weeks without locking wheel nuts and a trip to Le mans was a no no so I am very happy to pay the extra possible £10 is no big deal to me.



The idea of the post was just to give some feedback on how good the product is ……. and io thank everyone that added there info and advice on this topic

Tbh mate, ive ordered "things" from china, and no im not talking plastic fukin dolls...pmsl...but Ive never been stung for tax or import dudty, best thing to have done would have been to ask them to label it as cheaper than what it was, BUT...they should have asked you b4 if they were going to tax you, If you get anyhting through, just play dumb and say you never recieved them....lol...*** the customs, they tax us on enough, you've got your stuff there with you, I just have a gut feeling they'd have wanted the £ b4 letting you have it...

Update below...not good news I'm afraid.

I've been told they will be here at the end of next week.

No payments will be taken until they are here with us and ready to dispatch.


Cheers,

Guys...would it affect anyone if I dropped out?

It looks like I might be turning to the darkside and buying a different car.....hence no need for the wheel nuts unfortunately, it isn't concrete but tbh it would be a waste of money bvecaus eI can't re-coup the full amount back....

update

Hi Ian,

I am relieved to inform you that the nuts are finally in the air and on there way to us.

They should take no longer than 5 working days to arrive here.

Apologies for the delay, Rays took alot longer than they told us it would take.

Once we have them here we'll turn them around the same day.

Cheers,

Bob

They are due in today

If anyone has previously told me of an order change you will need to PM me the order number/name with the change, otherwise all orders will be processed as they have come through on our system. We have no way of cross-referencing the GB list on here with orders.

This is with the exception of Frayz and Trails as I am already aware that the ordered items and requested items are different.

Trails: I'll need your order number to make sure the correct bits go out to you.

Cheers,

Bob
