OK guys I get the argumentation's here. If anybody knows anything better or has already done this please advise how and how much it ended up. I drew a blank from my Japanese and Australian contact.
I'll make an enquiry for 5 units on the assumption we can get a basic idea of costs fully lagit, They do pre paint black from what I've seen, but I'd rather get mine powder coated locally.
Last time I imported anything for Japan or wherever outside Europe you are talking up to 6% duty payable on the value and shipping cost. and 20% VAT.
Shame no one in the UK could knock these up..GRP or PU would be better. However moulds are the cost. I have contacts but need something to mould from.
