Where\'d u get these mirrors?

[syebba]

Thx for looking Mark.
Ian,i\'ll keep an eye on those on oz ebay,the guy on ausrotary still has\'nt come back to me with a price yet,usual story a friend of a friends car,blah,blah.
 
25 year old mirrors will need respraying so i know a good bodyshop[sprayed my cobra],who will do a good job on them,better than i could do with a rattle can!
Probably get some windscreen trim done as well,in some parts the  black paints worn off[trim above doors on roof & 2 trims either side of the screen].

Paid $130 oz dollars/£74.16 for a pair of leccy mirrors off that link Ian posted up,this inc shipping.
He has another set if anyone interested.
Just need to wait & see if they turn up & are as good condition as he says.

Stu,
I bought the 2nd set off Sonny in Oz, the same guy as you and paid the same.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290401440882

I thought about buying them  but when I emailed him, you\'d already bought the 1st pair. Luckily, he\'d got a pair on the other car and they were ok so I got him to list them and I had those, see the note at the bottom of the auction.

I didn\'t know if they were being shipped air or surface which I why I asked you if you\'d had yours.
I emailed Sonny on Tuesday who said they\'d gone surface, 3 to 4 weeks  and then, they landed yesterday but the mail wouldn\'t leave them \'cause I got stung for vat and a handling charge this end. Had to go to the sorting office and pay another £17.98. A bit annoying but even at a ton, these mirrors are a real bargain.
To put your mind at rest, I think he sent both sets out the same time so yours should be landing anytime now and he\'s been as good as his word, these mirrors are spot on. He described them as 10/10 and they are.

[syebba]

That\'s g8 u got yours off the same guy,so it looks like he\'s reliable then.
VAT,i did,nt think would be charged as there 2nd hand,not new goods,thieving gits!
Still can\'t moan for £100 from OZ.
which car they going on,red or black?
Is the finish on mirrors a black plastic or are they painted black?
Sounds like ur chuffed with them.

7 times out of 10 you never get stung for any duty but occassionally you do and just have to live with it. I paid £9.79 vat but then the Royal Mail decided that the\'d have a piece of the action as well and charged me an \'international handling fee\' of £8.00. For doing what exactly??
If it had been a value over £135 I\'d have been done for import duty as well!
These were process by customs on 26.02.10 and have only just come out to me. Your parcel is probably stuck in some customs warehouse somewhere waiting for some bureaucrat to deal with it.



These mirrors are going on the black car. All the money is going on that one now to get it done.
I\'m just going to run the red one and enjoy it.
I just offered one up to the black car and it looks awesome.

The mirror arm is painted satin black, the plastic case of the mirror is unpainted although I\'ll probably do mine in Mazda sparkling black to match the car.

It\'ll be interesting to see what i\'m charged,i notice on the invoice even presents/gifts are\'nt exempt from tax.

It\'s your fault Mark,if we had\'nt seen your mirrors,we\'d be happy with our air brakes/cricket bats!

I\'ve always prefered the look of the uk market mirrors until you put the thought into my head Stu.
Gotta say though, now I\'ve actually got some, these aero type mirrors are the absolute dogs ********. Love \'em!!

I reckon you\'ll get hit for the same as me.
They take the stated value on the Aussie customs form, convert it into GBP and then charge vat on this amount @ 17.5%

Ian,
Did the royal mail contact you by post to tell u they have your mirrors?
Still not got mine yet,emailed the seller to ask if he deffo sent them.
Saw on tv,royal mails been striking so post delayed,nothing new there then!
