We've been quoted £1800 for the front and rear bumpers including painting and fitting by our local stealer.

Galashiels is in the Scottish Borders. That's a very kind offer bozo... Happy to meet up half way if you like.
No, thats just the rear spoiler. I only got a quote for a 4.6 front kit, and that one was £629 + VAT.

Half way = B'ham...Works for me...Since I still have an American postal address here in the UK, the shipping will be a LOT less..ONLY if they are able to ship it..(has to be less than 70 pounds, or 70" total in size I think...)

£1800?!?!?! They're nuts...I HOPE the 4.8 kit isnt THAT much more!!

No, its just that every mod I ATTEMPT to get, never falls through, so the money is still my hand!! Nah, the car deal Ive been doing has really kicked off lately...The DVLA are going to have me arrested, Im sure, but so what..I keep calling them trying to find out if there is a limit to how many cars I can own/sell/buy and they say there is no limit whatsoever... ..I dont get it...Meanwhile, business is going VERY well...Usually things slow down in March/April then pick back up in August...

Bozo, are you thinking of getting the rear fender flares too?
If so, I think you have to get an entire 4.8 rear bumper - not just the lower spoiler - in order to get the flares mounted properly... (correct me if I'm wrong)

Rob_ and I are bouncing back some info...As I suspected, it seems shipping could potentially be a problem, but thats hasnt been determined yet..But that is where the dilemma lies Im afraid....

Also, I still havent found out if I can actually install a 4.6 kit on a facelifted X...Thats will also assist me in my decision on what to do...

Hey Andy, I just got off the phone with EuroRev..I guess they are still in business! LOL..Anyway, yes, you are right..The 4.6 kit can not be installed on a facelifted X. You (and I) would have to get a 4.8 kit. The price for ALL parts, front and rear, is 1500 bucks, or about 872 quid...The price I got from my stlr here in the UK, was 620 + 179..So it looks like it will be about the same, and here you wont have to worry about shipping damage..

It sucks, cause even though he didnt give me a price, he said the 4.6 is a LOT cheaper...ARRGHHH!! Anyway, unless you know where I can get it cheaper..It looks like this is where we're at...Of course, I getting more and more interested in the Visualogic kit now...

The price you got from your Stlr, was that painted? The price I got from my Stlr was about £1300 plus £500 to paint and fit.
