Interesting fit? Why was that?

As long as your happy thats groovy!

On the V5 no cutting required but a couple of clamps were missing & the wrong size, a couple of the silicon sections were a tight fit.. overall can't complain.

Will post pics at the weekend.

Really looking forward to seeing some pics, when you say "no cutting" is that in regards to the wing or the bumper???

Ahhh... no the bumper has seen a fair bit of trimming

The inner wings did not need any cutting however.

was it just a case of hooking out the air duct and feeding the pipe down through the whole???

In regards to the bumper, was it just a matter of cutting a bit and trying it,

Yep, once the duct cover is removed - direct fit.

You need a fair bit of material cut away. Once mounted and the bumper is offered back to the car its obvious how much is needed to be removed. IMHO

Shame I did not get pics of the process - no digi cam @ the time.

Sounds pretty easy, how long did it take to fit?? I've never attempted anything like this before, but It seems pretty streight forward, as regards to the removing the bumper, I've not had a good look, but is it just a case of unscrewing or are they plastic clips?

Sorry for the all questions

"19.99 is cheap! I assume you mean £219.99 !

Hybrid have a new more efficient design out now - GT Spec and seem to be selling off their older Monster stock.

When will the price go up, and to what?
As you know, I have no car at mo for it!!!

Hi Guys and Gals,

First of all Tath a very tempting offer if you send me £225 then I'll take it!!!!!


For all you guys waiting on my shipment it is here arrived yesterday ahead of schedule is just clearing through customs at the sec was on the blower most of the day yesterday making sure they get it done asap so as soon as that is done we should be cooking on gas.

We have been told they will only deliver to us from the bonded warehouse this is where they make they're dosh but I'm hoping my persistent nagging will make them succumb to my will and I will rock up there in a trusty transit and pick it up myself as it will save me 3 days of waiting and a wedge of cash! (Although with the fuel prices maybe not!)

Thanks you guys for being so patient with regards to the delay!


Jo

P.s. This is how I look after all the emails I have sent so I hope you like your items!

Hi Guys

Just an update this is what my shipping guy Gareth emailed me this afternoon:
Hi Jo,

your goods have now cleared customs and I have pre booked the goods for delivery to Ashford on Tuesday 20.9.05.

Please however can you ring me first thing Monday to confirm delivery address and details.

Thanks
Gareth

Know this has been a lot longer than we anticipated customs have had it since last friday but everyone will be getting a tracking number from me once we get them I will dispatch on the same day. So according to this tuesday. Sorry again but at least finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I hope your well and truly happy with them.

Have a great weekend guys and thanks for your patience you've all been great!

Cheers Jo

Micky,
Just so you know we didn't refund you, you kinda did. I did say that paypal would refund you after 10 days because you put a dispute on. I did explain what was happening the other day but you blatantly don't believe me or even that the items exist.

If everyone who has posted on here doesn't get there items next week then I'll refund you all as know it has been the longest 28 days ever.

Cheers Jo
