A newbie from Melbourne seeking help

[Pavel]

Hi all,

Been lurking around this forum as a visitor for long. Finally decided to be a part of you all and get some advice, if possible.

I have been lately looking for the 1M body kit (specially the front bumper) for my 2011 E90. However I am struggling to find one. I might even be looking at the wrong place as well.

I have checked them and found them in websites from USA and China. However I am unsure of tax costs and sceptical about the risk of getting them delivered from overseas in case they come broken or not as exactly as I would be promised.

I would really appreciate if any of you can help me to find one. I am located in Melbourne.

Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated, given I'm a complete newbie in these matters.

Thanks.

One of the forum members Leigh has a Boutique panel shop in Cheltenham and will be able to advise in that area. One of the traps buying a kit like that from overseas is cost of freight as its calculated on cubic measurement to be a deemed weight, as you say fitment and quality can be a major issue.

Buying from Ebay and paying with PayPal will get your money back if it breaks or does not fit, but often these will be the cheap and nasty suppliers

Those I know that tried this in uk had major fitment issues and gave up in the end
