Hi,

I've met this guy through a website he was trying to post his advertisement on,
he claims to be sell 33 bodykits and i'm thinking of buying one a 400r front off him for $230 and $90 shipping to Perth from Melbourne.

His name is Kam Kwan Leung
and he goes by the name of Bodykit Australia
So if anybody has ever heard of him or used him before some feedback would be great guys,

Cheers.

Not sure about the supplier but I wish I had his courier. For us to transport a Front Bar to Perth from Melbourne would cost $280+. I don't want to jump to conclusions but thought it might help get a picture.

ermm.gif Doesn't sound like a very professional practice, however the decision as to whether he is legit or not is up to you. If you change your mind we have 400R front bars in stock.

Pretty sure if you pay by paypal, you can contest the payment if there are issues.
Don't pay by telegraphic transfer or western union, which is more for overseas payments anyway...

The highlighted bits are dodgey as...He doesn't have an ABN = Not a legit buisiness
The contact # is even worse,have you even tried ringing it? 1) no one answers 2)not even a voice on the message bank to say who it is or anything at all about Bodykit Australia.
3) why not ask who his courier is and ring them yourself for a quote on delivery and see if it comes anywhere near the $90 he quoted you.

Just buy 1 off PSI Parts, you know he's legit.

I would avoid this guy, for your safety. Sounds VERY dodgy to me. Go with PSI Parts, more expensive but you know you won't have an issue with them.

Dude dont do it

Ring Bruce from Fibrevision he has moulds for 400r and makes up 100% perfect bodykits and the price wont be much more. Buying stuff like this end in blood and tears.

Bodykit fitting and bodykit quality is a major problem over here.

PSI parts try Star trek courier you should be able to get a great competitive deal. DMD use them and postage from qld to perth was always around 50$ for me for kits

hi psi parts,

could you please see if you can get a cheaper courier like star trek and get it posted to me with them?
was the $356 you quoted the bar and shipping or just the shipping?

Thanks mate =D
