Cool Chargespeed GC8 centre bonnet vent

Ok, following on from a thread over in 'Wanted' about carbon central bonnet vents for the facelifted classic (version 3 to 6) I'm starting this thread to see how much interest there is in starting a group buy.

This is the vent:



There are two version available, one in Carbon which currently retails at 160 GBP + VAT, and the other in FRP currently retailing at 85 GBP + VAT.

So, if you are interested put your name down in this thread and I'll get some idea of what discount and delivery timescales are available.

I'd be up for one too Tim - carbon

Is this a direct replacement for the standard scoop?

If there is interest it may be possible to have the FRP (or carbon ones for that matter) painted too, obviously for a fee.

Just to drum up enough interest I'm also going to start a thread for Bug/Blob/Hawk eye models too

Thumbs up

Right, bit more info:

Cut off date for orders and payment would be August 25th.

They would be delivered in early November, maybe late October, unless we want to pay a premium for air freight from Japan

Some rough figures..

Carbon: Retail £160.00 + p&p + VAT = £199.75
FRP : Retail £85.00 + p&p + VAT = £111.63

Group buy, 5 orders -10%
10 orders - 15%

So Carbon delivered £179.77 ( 5 orders)
Carbon delivered £169.79 ( 10 orders)
FRP delivered £100.47 ( 5 orders)
FRP delivered £94.88 (10 orders)
Painting additional £47.00 if required.

These can be mixed between models (ie GC8 and the various GDB models), but not carbon/FRP

I'll let you know in a little over a weeks time when we have a better idea of numbers, probably giving us a week to get the payments sorted (by the 25th)

Right, we're going to need to be closing this during the coming week and make our payments.

At the moment for the GC8's we have:

Carbon
1. Tim W
2. R4LLY
3. Terry b
4. Wuz
5. Simbo


FRP

1. Bealescooby
2. Wuz


And for the GDB's we have:

FRP

1. Stuart Page (Bugeye)

So as it stands those wanting carbon will be paying £179.77 delivered, and those wanting FRP will be paying £100.47 delivered.

Anymore for anymore???
