Flexiarches - from UK

I just spoke to Anthony from Coffs 4WD and they are $660 plus around $20 postage.
This is the responce i got from Paddock Spares

"Hello,

Thank you for your email. The delivery would be approximately £105.00 with UPS, or £95.00 by airmail. The reason it is quite expensive is because of the size of the parts - they only weigh 4kg but the dimensional weight works out to be 19.5kg and I have to work out the cost based on the larger amount.

Kind Regards

Paddock Motors"

So using the current exchange rate they will set you back $521.55 landed at your door, i think i know which ones ill be going for

For those that are interested in the 75mm flexis, Lucky8 in the US of A have them at 288usd. The shipping for me to Tas was 109usd. Bit over A$500, including cc fees, for the larger flares is a great price. :)

they are different flares lucky 8 sells and look pretty crappy you would be just as well off with garden edging if you went with there flares, you can get it around 4-6in width and strips and it does a decent job, its also very durable my mate ran it on his hilux, i just dont like the way it looks....(like the lucky8 flares)

Mate they are flexi flares in the 75mm size. Are you saying all flexi flares are rubbish?

No, thats no what im saying, im saying these are different to what your expecting(the padddock spares type) I contacted lucky8 a few months ago, they sent me pictures, they are completely different to the paddock spares type of flare and dont look that great IMHO....

They are not the flares lucky8 sell now. They use to sell a Roccia, I think, brand, but now sell the Flexi brand. Might pay to have another look at their website.
