That site isn't working now. Can find the old link via Google but can't order it.

Are you see this? Perhaps I got the last one and they are out of stock?
PJ15618800J1 is the code I used to search electric blue - however that was going by the brochure code from rdmsport's post. It didn't show a picture so I'm really hoping I got the right one :D

Ha! As predicted. The order from the German site went through on Wednesday, and it's coming via UPS, so I went online to pay the import fees:
Price for the part/delivery - £400
Import fees - £89!!!!!

Almost a quarter of the price of the item again, and it's only coming from Germany.
Still, at least we get blue passports now :/

Not sure how @rdmsport got away with much lower fees. I chose the cheapest option, too.

Good thing it worked out cheaper than mine 😛🤣

Yeah that's what I got. Wasn't going to buy now, more pricing up and doing the man maths to justify 😂

Hey! I'm still 5 quid better off than you!
But then I probably spent that in time trying to work through 86speeds buggy order form before giving up :D
 
My duckbill is just like the car, delayed.
Ordered nearly 4 months ago and still no sign or update on where it is.

Cancelled mine with Fensport today. I'll reorder later if / when I ever get a car and decide I still want it.

How did you find out about the import fees? Do they email you in advance?

Tempted to order one and some mudflaps if I can find part number for them

After they dispatched it, they sent me an email with a link to the tracking page for UPS.
On that page, there was a link at the top telling me that there were import fees to pay - clicked that, it took me through where I could pay those prior to the item being delivered (in fact, I think you have to do that before the item leaves Germany - lucky I saw the link, as I didn't get a notification to do it).

When you go to pay there's a breakdown of the customs fee and stuff. After paying you get an invoice - save a copy of it, it does say that your driver will want to see it when he delivered (although mine didn't even ask).
 
so are you annoyed you bought one now you can buy direct from dealers or not arsed? Dealer have quoted £100 + VAT to fit so i'm thinking i'm just going to get them to sort.. and any issues and they will have to fix under warranty.
 
Is what it is 🤷‍♂️ never looked like it would be an option. Dealer fit seems like a good option with very variable labour prices!
 
I have one on order from Fennsport that hasn’t actually arrived yet (ordered back in August anticipating a delay).

I’m happy to keep my order with Fensport even if it appears slightly more expensive than dealers.

Rather support a small business than a dealer that has been silent ever since I ordered and seems indifferent to my custom.
