Very much interested.

And I only work about 15mins walk from where they are!!!

I might go in and have a look and see what they have to offer for us!

And questions you guys want to ask them directly then I might go in say on Tuesday asn onday is a holiday and ask them all together.

List the questions, if you have any and I will get back to you guys on Tuesday night.

Fire'em away!

Otherwise, I am very much interested in the bonnet.

I was at this shop, when they first open around 6-7yrs ago, & the boss then told me they only do euro cars cause theres a bigger margins. And look what happen now.

Anyway fto12345, can you ask them if they bring or get any FTO bodykits other then Veilside. I know they get lots of stuff from H.K, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers

Hey adriano,

That sounds good to me....

Let's get together and go down and see if we can break some deal out of them....But just doesn't seem like many people are interested...

So far maybe about 3 people?

So let's see if we can bring the price down and get more people interested.

I'm on Kent st btw, about 5 min walk from town hall towards Wynyard...

How about you?

Well after giving it a bit of thought, I think the EVO style won't be too bad. The main reason why I don't really want one though, is that I see too many of them on shitbox Lancers.

I think it'd look pretty snazzy your car. CF bonnets on white cars usually do make a good combo.

Well personally I don't think the evo5 bonnet is the best you can get for our cars obviously, but I think it's a better looking then the stock one at least.
Also, What I am really interested in is if we get enough people will the price be reduced significantly?
If it is then it's a definate goer for me!

Say $500? I would definately go for one without even thinking twice about it!
But how many people do we need for this??? hehehehe.....

Btw, have we go all the questions? Or are we still thinking of more questions to ask?

I think in summery people generally wants to know:
1. What the exact prices are for how many people
2. What other bonnets are there for our car
3. ask if they can bring in other body kits

Have I missed anything out?
