Please don't think I'm being thick here! What colour are they? Are they the blue ones which are advertised on the site?
The only choice I now see is blue and gold!

Cheers for your help!

I got an invoice once off DHL for £90 odd about 6 weeks after I recieved what I had ordered from California. I have heard that you either get them to stick a fake invoice on the package or mark it as gifts.

Exactly my experience when ordering from the States or Japan.

Only guy I knew to have a problem got sent a bonnet and it got stuck in customs at Heathrow and he needed to pay some money to release it.
