    Thanks :)
    The kit fitted quite well, however the nose fairing has a a lot of paint carry though on inside and could do with a paint over, it's just bare plastic,which I might do at some point? Otherwise very please with it :)

    Mine were like that, I put some carbon wrap on the inside looks good and saves paying someone else to do it!

    well its been 3.5 weeks since this arrived and NO import duty yet, do you think I have managed to get away with it? or are they this late sometimes?:(
    other smaller stuff I have ordered I have had to pay the PO before they released it?

    Sounds good because reckon at 20% VAT plus duty it would have been over £100? will keep my fingers crossed ;)

    I think when you get charged after release that's normally a handling charge buly the courier

    I reckon you might have got away with it, with the post office you have to pay to get it released, courier firms can be either way but wouldn't wait 5 weeks to be honest

    You,ve definitely got away with it. Customs / Royal Mail hold the item until the duty is paid.

    Yeah as the guys have said, duty has to be paid before release. Ours have just arrived duty to pay was £31.12 which included handling charges, the seller did put the value as $88.00 with a note saying " Sample goods of no commercial value". Well pleased with quality of plastic and paint job, have not fitted them yet.
