Just an FYI on Euro rear plate fillers.

[Holland]

ooooo i found it.
but is it the same height as the early tails? or is it the height of late tails?
anyone got any pics of it haha.

The same one on my personal car, it takes up the entire flat space around the plate.

And you're so far up your ass it's damn near hilarious. You sell your euro spec parts with a premium to people on this side of the ocean, so I imagine you don't like post such as mine.

As a general rule of thumb if you don't want to get screwed over, never buy parts from ebay.de or ebay.co.uk. They are first places people look for euro spec parts or "rare items". They know it and we know it. As a result people on this side of the ocean think they are getting a better deal, which they are to an extent, but often it's crap no one on their forums wanted or they want too much from the local guys. The folks here will buy it because it's better than nothing and still cheaper. Rusted adjusters? Broken tabs? Cracked lenses? Not a problem. Now take my money.


For the M-tech items, shipping them across the ocean is still cost effective if you want a 4 door or 2 door kit. Those go for a small fortune over here in sometimes in a sorry state. Cabrio kits seem to be the only ones that come up for sale.


Shipping is naturally expensive having to come from over there. But no one says you have to send it via DHL (the shipping branch, not DE's postal service branch). A Royal mail package (UK) that fits grills and smilies that weighs 6 kg cost me $45 to ship last time. It may not be the fastest method, but if time is a concern, another $25 will get it to your house in under a week via a courier. You may even get lucky and the seller will throw in a clock that you can sell over here for $40. That will cover a good chunk of your shipping cost.


tl;dr It is still cheaper, even with shipping, to get it from the source than someone on this side of the ocean. Go make an account at e30zone.net and take a look for yourself. Almost all of those sellers have no problem selling to overseas.

actually, I don't sell much of anything here for years now.


your so smart that you just posted that it will cost you 70 dollars for shipping alone.- so how are you getting 80 dollar lights????? even when you want to wait 6-8 weeks you still don't come close with your pricing.
now who's up their ass?

so subtract that 70dollars from the 200 dollars that I sold lights for (with free grills and usually a few euro plates) and you are at about 130 dollars. minus the paypal fees (15 dollars), and the exchange rate, I make about 90 euros -- I still need to locate these parts and drive to the post office and the stripping yard for the 6.50 a gallon. not to mention pay for them and fix anything that may be broken. what is my profit at now?

My post has nothing to do with selling anything, it has to do with your bullshit your spilling all over the place. sure it is possible to get a set of lights for 100 dollars shipped, but they are far, and few and probably crap 90% of the time. as well as missing connectors and such. I just sold my stuff at the going price and made it easier for alot of people to get things

and please don't even try to act like the know it all on buying/ selling parts- I used to do alot of shipping as well as receiving plenty from the U.S. to restore my Bel Air.
a profit has to be in it, why else would someone want to go through the trouble of selling parts.-- actually the reason I don't sell anything anymore.

now find someone that is going to crate up your magic 500 dollar M tech II kit and find a shipping company that is going to get it to you for under 500 shipping- not to mention the customs.

keep dreaming

keep dreaming

+1, as somebody who was overseas for 5 years, that kid is dreaming

[Ryan Stewart]

I know I dont have much say here but maybe the kid that cant spell glücklich right should get a temp ban for being a fagatron.

[KillaCam]

your so full of crap it's funny.

shipping alone is about 45 euros for a box large enough for lights to get too the U.S.
as well as the "free" grills will also cost that in shipping

M tech parts are all to large to send without using a shipping company.

you should really wake up and take a look at german e bay-- hell, I have been buying a lot of stuff from the u.s. lately



actually, you are just plain stupid to make a post like that.

YES! to this

[Court M3]

Agree with Mike

I've done some selling and getting the parts was a pain in the A** as far as locating($8.00 gl/gas), packing, and shipping.

[MR 325]

I remember when M-Tech 1 kits really were $500-$700.
