So, emailed Carpi.. they replied saying that my goods are in customs and to contact them to release them.. so eventually found the correct page and banged in my DHL order number.. and up popped the route the goods took..

So what the **** do I do now ?... I'll have a hunt about, theres no illuminated Red Button saying PAY NOW anywhere in sight... so looks to me as though they've been sitting in Glasgow since the 27th of January..what the **** !.. Nice of someone to tell me...

Surely someone along the line sends notification that the parcel has landed..

Hi Stuart, had this a lot at work with DHL for international parcels from outside EU. Sometimes they send an invoice advising payment is due but mostly they don't. Always important to get waybill number from sender and track parcel as you did. Hope your purchases worked out good value even with the extra charges.

Try again with 'you are a wanker', that should sort it :)

I couldn't get the indicator stalks in the UK so no option.. almost 200 quid for two indicators and a fitting kit !...

Here, if whipping off two indicators is a hint at what working on this thing is going to be like it will be a nightmare.. had to strip the plastics back, remove front seat, remove the inner plastic trim before I got near the connectors, I'll need to remove the tail tidy mount as I can't fish the leads through, rerouting isn't possible as the plastics fit as tights as a crabs arse at 30 fathoms, the fitting kit is top drawer, connectors are perfect, ballast which came with the kit required for each side, but what a difference, the OE indicators are complete pish and dead big..

Just need to button everything up now, trimmed about 4 unnecessary incheds from the number plate light lead, someone had made a bit of a mess fitting it, used the soldered sleeves, longest part of this job has turned out where best to mount all the extra cabling and ballast..

Cheers Rob they do look good, I'm really pleased with them actually, the flexi part of the stalk is very flexible so will take a brush bye no problem...
