bengazzard Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 About a month or so ago some lil @*?! nicked the badge off the front of the Z.. I've gotten fed up of lookin at a crappy hole in the front and have decided to go buy some Z emblem badges.. Next problem.. Which ones?! I have a blade and Im quite tempted by the satin finish ones but it might blend in too much (at least it wont get seen by potential badge teefs so easily).. Also the black pearl looks really nice too.. Anyone got any piccies of these in situ on a blade? Courtsey sells a pair for $88.. They any cheaper in the UK? Thanks in advance!

M13KYF Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 you just missed out on a group buy on some Z badges Ben. Got a pair for £70 plus £2 p&p from Chris @ funkystyling I got the satin ones and they look great. Look just like the 350z badge on the back. Sarnie got a black pearl one. Don't have a photo as yet. Chris does have the chrome ones in stock. http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_deta ... =449002536 the satin and black pearl ones are more money than the chrome ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengazzard Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Looks like its Courtsey.. Postage is gonna be a bitch tho, ah well.. will have to order a few more bits to make it worth while then.. Seen a couple of things on there.. The front reflectors for example.. Easy to fit? Im guessing the JDM ones will go on the UK Z ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 you would need to pay import duty and shipping costs on top of the listed price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzed Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I think on something so small, you would be unlucky to pay duty but on larger items it`s perhaps a bit more common. This applies to Courtesy and whoever else you buy from overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This applies to Courtesy and whoever else you buy from overseas. Being small is no guarantee as regards duty , worst case for me in percentage terms was on a s/h gearknob from the States , import duty / vat + £8 handling charge nearly trebled the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
