Anyone here from Vancouver, Canada?

[Seven7]

Hey guys, I am going to start modding my M3 soon and I am wondering if anyone from Vancouver can tell me where I can order parts and where is a good place to bring my parts to. Many Thanks!

Yo -- you're in London Ontario and want to buy stuff from Van? Why not T.O.?

CG Motorsports in Steveston (south part of Richmond BC south of YVR airport) is an awesome shop. They have a killer E30 M3 racecar in their showroom. The owner Chris and the main mechanic Rudy are great guys -- worth the trip down to south Richmond

They are doing a supercharger build on an E93 right now

Best way to get parts is from the US, shipped to Blaine or Point Roberts. A quick ride down to pick things up and import the stuff yourself.

Or else most forum sponsors will ship to Canada, but you'll get screwed on brokerage and duties with UPS and FedEx.

Definitely ship to Pt. Roberts and import yourself if you are from the GVA.

Agree!!! +1

and if you have to ship from the US directly to Canada, PLEASE PLEASE ask the vendors to use USPS, not UPS... UPS will literally rape you on brokerage fee... $ 30+ for a $ 100 part...

Problem is that more and more vendors are refusing to ship by USPS due to an increased frequency of lost packages. Import yourself!

So anyone from Vancouver? Where do you get your parts? And driving down to the states and importing the stuff over myself is not an option, i dont think i am able to do that.

[Chowster]

Surrey here. I just ordered some parts from IND and Alufelgen. Of course to Blaine.

Why would you NOT be able to drive down and bring stuff back? All you need is a valid passport. Just declare the goods when returning across the line, and pay your HST like a good Canadian. Same as good-ol' cross-border shopping.

There are many reputable mailbox places in Blaine and Point Roberts that will accept your packages, big and small, for a very small fee ($2-5 depending on size).

Contact Lewis at MWDesign, great guy and he's in Vancouver

how much do you think a set of gloss high front grill + a set of custom LED angel eyes would be?

[Seven7]

actually, I am interested in a set of AiB angel eyes and a pair of gloss black front grills, do you guys know where I can get them in vancouver? and where I can go to install the parts?

[ah gon]

i think is good deal for oem stuff: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462
$120 for front grill and side gills.
after shipping i think around $150cad maybe.
