They have the Flexi listed at 190pounds (inc VAT) , 50mm GRP 110 pounds (ex VAT) and 75mm GRP 120 pounds (ex VAT). Not sure how much the VAT is and if this is applicable on exports. Will let you know when i hear back from them with Prices and stockist info.

Vat is not applicable on exports to australia. I am willing to stock these items and currently searching for cost effective shipping options.

I have mad a sepoerate post as I have given some thought to maybe getting some other LR specialised gear from rovertym in the states.

If I find the flexiflares a viable option, I can make a bulk order (then ad afew more ontop to stock for future interested LR folk, say two types for each vehicle). So if i can get say for example 20 interested customers plus my set and the extra 6 I wish to order to keep in stock, I beleive it could become much more cost effective.

Only problem at the moment is, to be cost effective seaport to seaport is looking like the best method of frieght meaning 2-3months wait for the flares.

Unless anyone could help me in the freight department and a more cost effective method with a quicker arrival time, its the only option I have.
