    Go to Interparcel.co.uk They do DHL stuff, it'll cost quite a bit though... Hmmm, it's too big for them and would cost over £100. Tyr Parcel2go.com, max parcel length is 185cm so you might ahve to be creative...

      I'm half encouraged by the estimate. If this is indeed the case, I predict an S2 bumper for the future of my CQ.

          only 10kg actual weight but about 70kg volumetric which equals $$$$$$$

          last time i got a quote it was £130ish but that was quite a while back.Now they have added hefty a fuel surcharge on everything and now it over £200(someone told me)

          Try and stay clear of fedex,complete ****wits in my experience

            DHL are the kiddies, I sent a subframe to Valjo in Slovenia for a perfectly sensible fee. What about UPS?

                  That's always puzzled me as well, I would guess he has some sort of trade arrangement.

                        he won't tell, both me and spink have asked him.

                        He's got some sort of deal worked out with dhl iirc to do it, you need a vat number to do it as well.

                          Solw will work for me just fine as the bumper/RS2 lights/ B4 hood and full paint are a winter project. I'm a patient fellow.

                          Speaking of S2 bumpers, what kind of $$$ am I looking at for the necessary lights and lower grilles?
