I haven't personally, but when I asked on the forum not that long ago people said it'd be a couple of grand easy!

Depends on what you're shipping.
From Camskill the shipping wasn't too bad, if you bought enough stuff to offsett the shipping cost.

The only way to really find out is to get a quote for the item you are after.

Yeah I have, it wasn't cheap and it came slightly damaged to which the shipping company wouldn't admit to fault.

Bummer. Just out of curiosity then. How much was the shipping if you can remember off the top of your head?

250gbp was just the shipping.

I ordered a TS Factory front bar, and that cost about 150gbp I think.

Looking at close to $900AUD to get it here.

And the risk of it being damaged.

    Nah,dont need to borrow one. Ill just mod one of the facelift front bar copies and see if I can properly locate prefacelift pods into it. Pretty sure most of the facelift front bar is a similar profile to the prefacelift front bar, so should work. And if thats the case, can offer prefacelift TS factory as an option as well.
