Just wondering since i'm buying new intercoolers from Z1 and i'm also replacing all the main rubbers for my zed and lights,

 

Is it cheaper to just order the whole lot from z1 in the states ?

 

Will there be a large import tax bill when it gets here ?

It will make shipping more cost effective if you do. I ordered new fog light lenses a few years ago, HUGE difference. Seen so many mankey ones about, I am surprised not more have replaced theirs. They're not even that expensive and freshen up the front end a lot!

Roughly speaking, if you look at the price in $ on the US website, and then replace the $ with a £ then that's what it'll cost with Shipping and Taxes.

 

ie - if everythign you are getting from Z1 is around $450, it will cost around £450 to your door.

Cool,

 

plan is to replace all the trims, side lights and fogs.

I've just had a look for new fog lenses but I could only find the full foglight assembly instead :(

:thumbup1: I may well order myself a pair of those then if Lee's placing an order anyway :)

 

Cheers Si.

For reference, Z1's own inventory search is fairly good. Just type in what you're looking for rather than go through the listings.

just add 25% on top of the converted UKP price .. and that will be your total cost m8

Ouch, let's hope the pound gains on the dollar a bit then, last time I imported anything from the states it was $2 to the £1

tax when it gets to this country is 30% on top of the purchase price and shipping.

Just ask them to post the receipt separately from the package, and mark the package itself as 'vehicle parts, used'

 

Works a treat I found :innocent:

Then there is no insurance on the package that way, and if it gets lost or damaged your screwed.

Will buy my new intercoolers from Z1 but keep all the other bits on order from MJP.

 

thanks for the suggestions.

And if the Customs people open it to check then once again you are screwed

I am going to bring back some intercoolers with me when I go out to Z1 in October. Free shipping yo!
