My Mk4 buildup thread...

There will be another 2k in labour plus another 1.5k for tuning plus the remainder of the exhaust also needs to be done. I have been plotting and planning this for some time and saving like all good boys should

Hooley Dooley! I don't even know what half that stuff is!

Hmmm, I should have got you to throw my DV into one of your boxes.

Looking sweet as mate. What about painting the piping a nice matt black or something to make it stand out much less?

Also what happened to adding in my order with ECS as well?

It's going to end up costing more because of import duty and GST. If I split the order up then I'd have to pay a truck load more in shipping.

I looked into it and by the time I shipped it up to you there was SFA difference.

As a matter of interest Neil how do you handle the Import duties and GST on an order that size, do you just order the stuff then when it arrives Customs rings you or sends you a letter and you fix up what you owe them?

Tis cool mate. Looking at my order if I ship it together it'll cost about $1657.23 USD including duties and all that crap.
However if I ship each part separately it will be $1376.02.
It's such a freaking joke and a real hassle. Stupid freaking government.

I'll answer that one when the stuff arrives. I've never imported something of this value before.

Woot - my S3 dump pipe arrived today! Thanks GOLFBALLS!!!

Just be aware that if the shipments are close together and Customs realise several arrivals are heading to the same address they will add them together and sting you. This was told to me by a Customs broker when I brought my bodykit in from Europe.

Heh you being picked on by the rozzers already Neil?
I think in black the pipes will look damn sweet. Sort of a stealth, holy mother of god would look at the size of those pipes and intercooler sort of thing.
