a) Nipple Hubcaps with the Porsche Logos in the centre that fit Beetle rims?

b)Chrome Bumper Overiders that fit the replica bumpers (Chesil no longer do them)

Bumper Guards

Post by martinpcraven »

Hi OB,
Yes we CAN get bumper guards, but due to the fact that the T6 bumper blade is different to the Speedster, we only brought one set in and they sent Speedster in error. Regret to say that set was sold on to one of Mohr's customers in Germany. Again, if you can wait that long, we should have stock later in the year. Can't give you a sensible price at the moment, as we paid retail ourselves for the one set.

I saw your post re: dealing direct with companies in the US and couldn't agree more about the $ - £ situation at the moment. That works fine, as long as the company that you are dealing with is happy to go along the "gift" route. Here's a tip - just be sure to tell them to send your invoice separately by post. If the customs DO open a parcel (and they have the right to) and find out that you are trying to dodge import / VAT taxes, they are not very sympathetic!

The reason I mention this, is that a good friend of mine imported some parts for his Corvette and sufferred that very fate. Not only did they confiscate his parts, but HE got a hefty fine as did the US company that sent the parts to him!

99% of the time it works - just be aware that it could be the 1% one day.
Bon chance !
