Icelle Blue Mivec Update

Emailed them and they say they are waiting for bulk order and hope to have the HIDS in stock in next 10 days. Odd that they were listed as "in stock" at the time. I also asked about the dash dress up kit and hopefully they will have in a months time. Xmas gift to myself

Nice one.
Sounds like its coming along well

OK....So I have ordered:
Opie Oils:
1) pack of Denso Iridium Power Spark Plugs (IK22)
2) Motul 8100 fully synthetic oil 5W-40
3) Motul Gear 300 75W-90 racing gearbox diff lube

Camskill:
1)Cambelt Kit GPX (timing/Alt/PS)

JapParts (ebay):
1) Water Pump

At a cost of circa €350, I am very tempted to claim the VAT back by claiming it's for company vehicle use. I would have have to slap a web address on the rear window at least (something I was considering anyway) in order to keep it legit. Would save me €70 on the above items alone and then there's the labour and other parts to come. The car sits outside my office when i am seeing clients and I imagine it gets plenty of looks, so wouldn't be a bad idea. Thoughts?

If you're buying from the UK you should give them your vat number at the point of purchase.
That way it's not a matter of claiming it back, you're never charged it.

Also, isn't buying from three places costing you more in P&P?

Yeah, I only thought about the VAT thing AFTER I ordered. Silly, I know. I also ordered stuff on separate days, but the difference in postage I have to say is tiny, because some things were cheaper in other places. I just received my stuff from Camskill. When everything arrives, it's off to the garage to get her serviced. I might do some of the stuff myself, but no way will I touch belts, unless they're attached to a beautiful woman.

Just got a mail from ftooc to say that my HIDs will be posted tomorrow and that they have also refunded me by (a secret amount) because they got a better bulk deal from the manufacturer. Very happy with that.

I ordered approx £125 worth of stuff from Opie Oils and I don't see a discount anywhere on my order. I received the stuff this week and I mailed them about this and had no reply all week.
