Starbuck Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 As seen in other threads I've been in touch with Stillen about the costs for importing bumpers and side skirts from the states. This has now been approved for a group buy, by the mods. http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STIBODY10&c=EX&year=1994&make=TOYOTA&model=SUPRA http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?223781-Stillen-front-bumper/page2 Estimated Costs Front Bumper £390 Side Skirts £300 Assumptions Based on an order of 10 units Inclusive of shipping VAT and Duty. A full breakdown will be provided to all members of the group buy prior to placing an order. Note These are indicative costs and not final. I'm going to look to try and get the base unit price and shipping costs down a little lower if possible, which will also reduce VAT and Duty. Timescales Currently unknown. This is subject to demand and also turn around time for the order and shipping, so spread the word and get people to sign up to this group buy. Process 1. Confirm number of buyers and units. 2. Finalise Costs 3. Take Payments (I understand this will go through the clubs account) 4. Place order 5. Distribute within the UK. If you are interested in any of these parts or have any questions please post here and I'll add you to the list. 1. Starbuck - Front Bumper & Side Skirts 2. Cloudder - Side skirts. 3. Stratty - Front Bumper - Subject to Shipping costs to Jersey. 4. Rajinder - Front Bumper 5. Caseys - Front Bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You may want to include whether or not these are for Facelift/pre Facelift. Judging by the example photo, it looks to be Facelift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks, I'll need to confirm that with Stillen. They only seem to have one on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The bumpers seem very cheap! Many of the top brand Jap ones are circa £1k, and they're not as well made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 If you lived in the states they would be even cheaper. they seem to be discounted on their site at the moment by the base cost in the states would work out to £264 or something for a front bumper at current exchange rates. I actually thought the £450 was relatively high as you will need to get it painted and fitted and need all the standard hardware. Maybe I'm just tight!

Scott Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You may want to include whether or not these are for Facelift/pre Facelift. Judging by the example photo, it looks to be Facelift. I don't think any bumpers are designed to be facelift or pre, other than stock. It won't come with the indicators or anything so I think it just happens that the example photos have had facelift indicators attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillen have stated that this will fit all 1993 - 1998 SUPRA with a standard front Facsia. They didn't however understand the concept of a facelift model.

Stratty Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would be interested in a bumper if it is possible to ship it to Jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 I would be interested in a bumper if it is possible to ship it to Jersey? I'll have to check out the costs, to get it shipped direct will cost $600 for 1 unit alone. So probably cheaper to ship to the uk then add the cost of shipping 1 unit from the uk to jersey.

Try Parcelforce 48large.... may need someone who has a contract with them to move it for you... prob too big for normal couriers. http://www.Parcels2go.co.uk is also good.

It won't come with the indicators or anything so I think it just happens that the example photos have had facelift indicators attached. Top Secret ones are, hence the type II and type III bumpers. The front indicators (underneath the headlight) are bigger on the Facelift than on pre-facelift. I made this mistake when i bought a Type II bumper and it wouldnt fit without changing the lights for pre-facelift, which i didnt want to do as i dont like the pre-facelift ones. If you did it the other way around, i imagine your pre-FL lights would look pretty lost in the bigger holes designed for the FL lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 This has been quiet for a while. Could do with a bit more interest. For those that are interested I'll be in touch shortly to discuss moving forward if there are only low numbers. I may be willing to buy 1 or two extras to reduce the costs further.

by1 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 What price is more realistic for front bumper? £450 or £264 as if its under £280 all in I'll be interested as would save me repairing my veilside v2 bumper lol As these aren't fibreglass am i right in thinking that they should fit without much messing around?

Starbuck Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 £450 is realistic end price at the moment i'm afriad. With little interest so far it could even be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 If the fitment is guranteed then I am in for the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Unfortunatley I've been slacking. Can everyone pm me if they are still interested at these numbers and I'll look to get a more detailed quote. Apologies for the delay guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 So whats the update??? Going to ask for a better quote now on the above numbers are you interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbuck Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Just got a quote for 4 fronts and 3 sets of skirts shipped to heathrow (then have to add further distribution or pick up costs from there) This worked out to be about £450 for a front and £360 for a pair of skirts. Was hoping to try and get it a bit cheaper than this, however can you all pm me if you are interested at this price and we'll see where we are. If you have any questions also let me know.
