GB; Super VR4 Replica Bumper Canards

[Gingerfish]

We all know that these things are practically impossible to come by but after a little bit of banter between myself and another member who frequents these parts, I am opening a 'Group Buy' to guage interest for sets of Super VR4 Replica Bumper Canards.

There were a couple of members left dissappointed by the über quick sale of the set that was for sale recently, so I have tried to organise the availability of a few more.

At the moment, we have settled for a minimum of 5 sets of these to be up for grabs but if there is sufficient interest from members here, I'm sure that a few more could be sorted.

Each set will be exactly the same as these:

6568765688


Of course, being replicas they will need to be retro fitted but they won't take too much mucking about to get bolted on.

They will arrive in the white protective coat that can be seen in the pics so will need to be prep'd and painted once you have them.

If any members are genuinly interested in purchasing a set of these canards, please post in this thread and I will get a list going.

Once there are 5 definates on board, the order will be placed. They will be posted to me here in the UK in bulk and then sent via post ( or you're welcome to collect in person ) to each member.

The price of these will be £85 per set delivered to a UK address, but I will be happy to post international (should anyone require) although this will incur an extra bit for postage costs.

These can also be posted to NZ for £120 inc. postage.

I hope this pleases those of you who missed out on the last set.

Much thanks to Jan4iks for helping organise this.

:)


Remember guys, these are for PFL bumpers only!

Jim

[Gingerfish]

what sort of time frame are we looking at for payments ?

At the moment, I'll be looking to take payments and put in the order at the beginning of January.
It all depends on how many sets are required.

[Badger_01]

Will be keen depending on how much it will cost to ship here :)

[Gingerfish]

Will be keen depending on how much it will cost to ship here :)

If you are interested, then shipping can be arranged to NZ from source for £120 (approx. 240 NZD) inc. postage.

[MINTER_GTR]

yeah count me in most definately!!!


**edit just seen that they are for PFL......would these take much to fit FL??????

The front bumper on a FL is totally different to PFL. They won't fit without some serious work.

You could fit a PFL bumper if you really wanted these.

If you are interested, then shipping can be arranged to NZ from source for £120 (approx. 240 NZD) inc. postage.

Ouch lol, shipping is always the killer. I think I shall pass on this one

[Z-Kev]

I will be in on this if possible

[-GTO-]

Hi,


How much for shiping to Germany

[Erni902]

Put me down as definite mate :)

[SEAN-NZ]

maybe, if the finances are in shape by then, then im keen

[Badger_01]

If you are interested, then shipping can be arranged to NZ from source for £120 (approx. 240 NZD) inc. postage.

Wait... is $240 NZD going to be the full cost inc postage?

I just re read it all lol

[Gingerfish]

maybe, if the finances are in shape by then, then im keen

If there is enough interest, we may organise another batch.

Once the list is full, I will PM the members on the list and go from there.

[Gingerfish]

That's right.

That price includes the Canards AND postage to NZ.

[Gingerfish]

Is there any more definate interest in these as we need just 1 more member to go ahead with the order?

[Badger_01]

Yep Im in. Good price lol

[Erni902]

Just spoke to Alex (Gingerfish) and he will be on shortly to finalise the details etc :)

[Z-Kev]

Can I point you towards Peter M price list?

No offence Kev but I will pay the extra £10 for reliability. Ive dealt with Alex plenty before and cant fault his work or level of service. Tried to deal with Peter several times in the past but he has a tendency to drop of the face of the earth for months on end with no contact etc. Dont know his personal status so this may have something to do with it but for the reason stated above I will be staying with this particular group buy and nobody will be able to poach me away on Peters behalf.

Nowt personal just saying.

[Gingerfish]

Hi peeps, sorry for the short absence.

Ok, looks like we have a full house so I will be PMing all those on the list.

I am going to be busy for the next 48hrs (what with xmas and all) but as soon as I return, we shall seek to obtain monies for all involved and the order will go ahead.

Z-Kev, I totally understand where you are coming from and obviously you must go with whichever suits your time frame and budget. Due to costs and agreed prices I cannot drop the price from the current level.

Obviously, if there are any of you who wish to pull out at this time please say so.

Cheers Chaps :)

[Z-Kev]

I wasnt pulling out just wondered if you had seen is all, I will always stick by what I say as I am not like that so yes I am still in

[BubbaLeggyVR4]

This is a long shot but I really want a set of these, must've missed the post when started.
Are anymore going to be available in New Year?
I have the whole kit except the canards and the bits behind rear wheels, want to finish it off nicely for next summer if possible :)

[Gingerfish]

ebo06, JimT, Erni902, Badger_01 and Z-Kev PM's have now been sent.


I have set a goal for payments for 5th January as I'm aware that some are wanting your goodies asap! :)


If there is any other interest in these, I'll be happy to sort out some more orders once this GB has been sorted.

[Erni902]

Replied :)

[Badger_01]

Done and done :)

[Erni902]

Paid ��

[Gingerfish]

Cheers Rikki.

Everyone involved in this G-B is now paid up.

I will now go ahead and make the order.

Thanks for all the co-operation guys. I'll keep everyone posted as to progress.

[Erni902]

[Gingerfish]

Badger_01, let me know when yours arrive just so I know you got it ok.

I am busy this weekend but I will try to slot in some packaging so I can get these posted out to you all at the beginning of next week.

You'll all need to PM me your addresses. I don't mind posting to work or friends addresses to insure they are delivered somewhere where they be collected easily.

Just to inform you, they are grey (not white as stated) but they will need to be painted anyway.

PM sent with address. Many thanks dude and no dramas about the colour as my whole front end is being modded so will need spraying anyway.

As you can probably guess mine just turned up :)

Many thanks Alex top job

Rikki

[Gingerfish]

Excellent.

Everyone involved has made this a pretty good venture.

Just waiting for confirmation from the remaining 2 members to ensure they're happy.

[Z-Kev]

recieved today, as expected will need fettling for a perfect fit but no more than any other aftermarket body parts, all in all a good buy, thanks bud

[Gingerfish]

Groovy :hat:

[JimT]

Question, do you need to cut a hole in the bumper to allow airflow at the back after the scoop
Jim

[Gingerfish]

Question, do you need to cut a hole in the bumper to allow airflow at the back after the scoop
Jim

Not that I'm aware of Jim. The hole in the Canard should slot into the existing hole in the bottom of the bumper.

I might have mis-understood the question though :whistle:

[Z-Kev]

hes talking about the side scoop, I personally would put a vent at the rear arch in some form, stops a pressure build up, you could cut a slot in your bumper then route that air to the wheel arch

[Z-Kev]

I am probably going to be cutting the lower bumper hole off at the curve so I can blend this into the bumper smoothly

[Gingerfish]

lol. I did mis-understand! /dunce

Thanks for the save Kev.

[Gingerfish]

Everyone now has their Canards /Poms

Much love to Erni902 Z-Kev ebo06 Badger_01 and JimT.

Excelent communication and fast responses /thankyou

Jan4iks will be getting some well deserved Rep also!



To all those that want an opportunity to get their hands on some of these, I will be starting a new thread soon to see about sorting out more sets :)


Cheers guys

[Z-Kev]

Just a update, first sand down complete, highlighted a few voids and a air pocket, nothing unexpected as per most fibreglass panels from homemade source,had some cut marks in one corner though minor 2 mm overcut but does need filling, one layer of filler should leave them in good enough condition for finishing work, would question the mould though as fit is slightly marginal on the front vent hole and angle of fit tied into this, as I am getting rid of this front hole section its not too much bother but you might want to be aware of it if you are not ready for the joys of aftermarket fibreglass parts,I am also going to be foam filling the inside to make it a bit more substantial and give a good base for bonding to the bumper, before anyone gets antsy I worked in a GRP bay on aircraft parts for 2 years so do know what im doing with fibreglass lay up , shaping and working.

[Badger_01]

I found the same as Kev, but Im not worried.

Didnt even sand them down when i painted mine haha. And with the front vent hole I'll just attack the bumper so the fit better haha

[Erni902]

I have dropped both the canards and the bumper off with my mate last week. I do know he is busy at the moment and I told him there is absolutely no rush so he will update me as and when. Has any of you other guys fitted/painted yours yet? If so I would love to see what the finished product looks like.

They are lower than the bottom of the bumper at the back, but they seem to look ok.
Jim

[Gingerfish]

Excellent job there chap. They looks the muts!

Pics once fitted are a must, I've decided! :rulez::smash:




:sunny:

[Erni902]

They look great Jim especially in white :)

I did see that but looking at other cars with them on this seems to be the case so not worried about that. There is quite a nice surface to bond to along the front anyway so happy with that.

Cheers for the pictures

[Z-Kev]

that looks good, im in no rush to fit mine so am just going slow with a full blend in to the bumper and also some other work on my bumper

[Erni902]

Ooh this sounds interesting Kev, you'll have to keep us posted on the 'other work' on your bumper ;)
