WINKJ Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 to get any type of kit/bumpers/wheels for your car... I know we have traders like Alex, tarmac and rarerims.... on that topic, where has p1ul t gone?! I have been trauling the net for ages to get a decent kit for my car, chargespeed, strosek, nismo, or similar popular kits, but its proving reaaaaallly difficult to source. Also, its really difficult to find any rims which aren't Rota's without going to the US, the same applies to kits.. does anyone know of anywhere in Europe to look, or just ANY HELP WHATSOEVER thanks Quote
Jimmy P Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 +1 I can't understand why Nismo don't have a UK or European supplier when so many people want their stuff... Quote
coldel Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Was saying the other day if someone opened a physical shop in the midlands which stocked 350z stuff it would have queues at the door. Quote
WINKJ Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 great business idea - why dont we all invest some cash, then buy our own stuff through the shops! save on VAT too! Quote
Jimmy P Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I'm in, I've been looking for an alternative to becoming a crack dealer to cope with the rising costs of petrol! Quote
WINKJ Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 I'm in, I've been looking for an alternative to becoming a crack dealer to cope with the rising costs of petrol! we could pedal dope out the back door to fund the FI for our z's? Quote
Jimmy P Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Although we'd probably make more selling red diesel Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 back in the day envy performance was your one stop shop. but it all went tits up and people got v annoyed. but all they did was advertise it and then when you wanted it get it shippe din form the US with their % ontop. to be honest Tarmac is the one to watch as his business grows and he gets more stuff in the options will grow. or if you want something specific i'm sure he is possibly one of the cheapest ways of getting it here.

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Queues at the door would be nice... I would buy a load, truth is you don't sell many original kits The problem is Nismo/Chargespeed etc are so damn expensive and Nismo discontinued the best one IMO the V1... Alex gets the odd one somehow but they are soon snapped up.. Because Bodykits are so bulky you get crucified on shipping too (volumetric weight) and theres too much costs and ball ache to get lumbered with a load of stock tbh. It does make odd ones expensive im afraid. Have a sneaky look in here... I may be able to do something on price if I was bulking it up. http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/350z-exterior.aspx Quote

Ian Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Whats the problem with using US or Japanese based companies? If you use the right companies then you'll get it quicker than most UK suppliers anyway Quote
Ricey Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 UV worldwide.....they come with a good rep! ..........and I AM joking before anyone scampers off to use them! Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 UV worldwide.....they come with a good rep! ..........and I AM joking before anyone scampers off to use them! Check out the "About Us" page ....... they don't have much to say for themselves... or should I say He Quote
leodspider Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I believ the only official nismo dealership is sumo power down south and been a company of it's size you would be looking to pay OTT prices for them, as their mark up would be crazy. Quote
Freebird Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 The most annoying imo is trying to find wheels, would LOVE for Rays brands to be available over here but you end up paying insane amounts of moolah to get hold of stuff. Although looking through tarmac's site im literally thinking 2.5k for some SSR professors in 19" isnt bad considering the cost of getting jap wheels to the UK. Its a shame its not as easy to get stuff over here, i mean in the states there is a million places to get everything. I have people in the states i could order stuff to and get them to ship but you would still get shafted for shipping and import tax and duty Quote
