Red tail lights

[Gloucesternige]

Great news guys. Our kits have arrived and I just need to pick em up from RM.
Bad news is we got charged customs, to the tune of £23.30. I'll do the calculations later, then tell you all how much you owe me.

If you change your mind just say, I really don't mind.

Awesome! Thanks Nige...that's not too bad at all on the customs charge.

Right guys, I've worked out the costings.

I paid $140.63 for all three kits inc p+p. At paypals exchange rate of 1.22 that equals £115.25.

The kits cost $47.82 full rear and $29.99 lights only, p+p was $15

In GBP this equals £39.16 full rear and £24.58 lights only, p+p is £4.10 each

Working on a ratio of £23.30 / 115.25 the customs works out to £8.74 for full rear and £5.80 lights only.

So, Full rears total £52.00 and lights only is £34.48 plus UK p+p.

I hope somebody understands this, because I'm buggered if I do!!

Just picked em up guys, they even put them in three separate tubes for us!! I'll work out postage then get back to you via pm for your address. I'd prefer bank transfer please as PayPal will cost me!!

 

[Gloucesternige]

Looks like Postage in the UK will be £3:90 RM 2nd class insured up to £50 with 3 day delivery. How does that sound?

If anyone is going to castle combe Saturday I'll probably be there?

 

[Gloucesternige]

Haha, just looked at customs charges. They charged VAT on the goods only and it looks like they forgot to add the packages together!! We did good guys!!

I will be applying the tints when I get home today. Will let you know how much I screw up. LOL I'm going to trace over these with some grease paper first. That way even if I mess up completely. I can get a sheet of red tints and cut them myself and try again.

There we go. Templates traced.

Anyone know what colour red tint would work well? i may now experiment with different tint colours as I can create as many sets as I want and screw up as many times as I want too.

Gonna do this when the wind dies down a bit.

My advice. The cuts aren't as flush as you would think. For the indicators. To ensure full coverage, do it with the hazards flashing on to ensure you are covering it well.

It's hard to cover the indicators properly otherwise I'd imagine. Just go in with the mindset that it's not a OEM fit like Roush parts. Good luck y'all.

On the close up. The third bar has some water on it. They aren't bubbles. I used a heat gun and once I was finished I separated them with water so everything would cool down and set.
