This comes in at £70 including delivery or full stainless for £85 (which is much cheaper than the uk) and I have found a standard middle box for £32 with delivery (again much cheaper)
-
I wouldnt have thought it was anymore risky than any ebay transaction!
-
i kno loads of people who have bought stuff from germany with no problems, 1 mate even bought 5 wheels from some guy in germany and all was fine.
i think its only as big a risk as buying anythin else on ebay, the main problem comes with communicating if things go pete tong.
you say full stainless for £85... is that a full system, or just a back box, cause volksbits are doing stainless back boxes for £99, but then i dont kno wat (if anything) the delivery is.
-
Prices are just back box and they look very similar to volksbit's..oh and carriage from them was quoted as £10 last time i checked
-
If its brand name off ebay I tend to trust it. :wink:
Bought stuff from Germany before and never had a problem.
Good thing is he takes Paypal. I paid for something by bank transfer once, the banks f****d it up completely and it took about 2 weeks to sort out with emails / phonecalls to Germany.
He's sold over 7000 things as well and got 99% +ve which means he must be doing something right. :smiley:
Can always contact to make sure it all fits before you buy, exhaust looks nice BTW
