Not quite a stowaway, but near enough.

The one thing I should have done in retrospect was to have ordered some JDM goodies, got them shipped to the car exporter and put in the boot of the car. That way I would have avoided the import duty, carriage charges and customs clearance fees.

I ordered mine and they came directly from Malaysia I believe, it wasn't Ultra Racing UK I ordered from on eBay but one of Ultra Racing's distributors overseas.

I paid a lot less than the UK price, I think for both braces I paid £194.00 including delivery which was a big saving over the UK price.

There you go, the braces arrived quickly and without drama.

I was a little weary given the low feeback rating, but everyone has to start from zero.

No way, it's a 6 hour drive up there - don't get me wrong I want to see the car but not so much I would carry out a 12 hour round trip.

Good things come to those who wait.

I will be getting some photographs either later today or tomorrow of the car when it's back in Leeds.

I have the auction report plus detailed pics of the minor paintwork issues so anything else will stand out like a bulldogs *****.

Good news, the car has cleared customs and is going to be collected first thing tomorrow.

I'm hoping for some nice pics of it finally in the UK tomorrow evening.

This will be the most expensive Xmas present I've ever bought, even if it is for myself.

If that old git Santa Claus was paying for it I'd be far happier.
