Thanks Bacillus,

RR, I'd like the front and the rear please, and I'd rather pay the extra and not supply a silver badge. I'm a little unsure about the rear badge however, I've got an '05 gti and the rear badge looks the same as the pic on the Carbon Dynamics website (I wasn't aware that there was a different design of rear as indicated in an earlier post?)

Thanks

Andy

....Shouldn't be a problem shipping to Jersey within the costs already given but I'll double check tomorrow - also the question about rear badge.

I'll then add your name to the list in the first post accordingly.

....

Some answers to the quezzies : -

- Shipping to Jersey included as same as to mainland UK.

- Stock VW Front badge price - Was stated as £29 because it is the cost in the USA. Cost in UK is £14.68 (incl vat) so new price will be £16 to cover shipping UK>USA. Otherwise, please supply your own Front badge to TTshop in due course.

- Carbon wrapping a painted VW badge is no problem.

- The smooth low-relief Rear badges aren't suitable for carbon wrapping (as Charles/CD already pointed out).

- It isn't a good idea to send the whole Rear lock mechansim to USA via TTshop because of the significant weight and shipping such weight has not been allowed for. So please carefully remove rear logo component.

HTH. We are nearly there!!

In view of the fall of the pound vs US dollar, I wonder if these prices will have to go up...

....My pleasure, mate :afro: - It feels good to be able to help others out (even if very frustrating at times!!) - We all try and help each other. The aim is always to achieve a Win-Win situation where no-one is screwing someone else. TTshop make a small profit but it leads to additional business, the original maker Carbon Dynamics survives to offer more, we get a cool product. The people I resent are the Customs tax grabbers who do feck all for their gain and also delay everything, but you just have to accept it and "don't let the basstards grind you down" (as U2's Bono says).

Anyroadup, people are always helping me out and it's my way of giving back or passing it on.

Jeeze, I sometimes wonder what I'd get given if I had a nice female cleavage!! :shocked: :evil:

....I haven't asked but I expect that TTshop will do all they can to stick to their quoted prices. The normal practice on quotes is that they hold for 30 days. They are well aware that this isn't a cheap item and we have all the added costs of shipping to and from America - I know them personally well enough to know that they are just trying to be fair.
