Anybody ever order from Bavauto?

Any fellow canadians ever order from bavauto??

Anybody order from them and have to pay duties? The cost of the item was 80 bucks before shipping costs...if i do have to pay how much do u guys think it will cost? Thanks in advanced

I had ordered some hub rings and center caps from BBS, they wouldn't write down the invoice, so I got charged duties. Value was 120, and I ended up paying extra 60 CAD.

Previously I had ordered coilovers 1300 USD and got charged only 20 CAD. They were willing to write down the invoice value of the coils.

tape...


Here's my old raody.


It helps to have a 2nd pair of hands with a hair dyer to warm the tape up.
The heat helps to form it around the corners.

Learned something else. Was looking at those the grills from Turner.

This looks like a great alternative for much less $$...car mod time followed by a beer reward afterward.

The first time I did it on the roady I wasted a bit of tape until I got the hang of it.
This time, got it right the first time.

With a little heat & a bit of patience,
I did it with one piece with no wrinkles or folds.
