Just been in touch with Creative in England, They can ship de-luxe trim over but it costs around $1500 landed in Sydney, that doesnt include import duties.
The problem is it is 3 metres long, as the long side goes round the rear as well, it comes as a straight piece and you bend it to fit.
I am going to England in June so will see if I can take a set back on the plane with me, will have to ask Malaysia airlines if I can, doubt it but you have to ask.
When will some one make the stuff over here?????

Cheers

Should be possible to cut and join it.n If
I ever wanted it I'd probably get em to cut the long piece(s)
and try and reduce package to 1.2 or 1.5 metres.

Should be possible to weld it back together with the
join (which will be 'hard') on a section that doesn't have
to be bent....

have spoke with creative about this aswell ,the problem is not only that the pieces are long they are also annealed so if they are not packed tight and bounce about in turbulance or when being handled, the position they have distorted to is the way that you will get them ,they will be hard and not fixable. it seems like a big risk to me.
i have spent alot money with creative and there gear is first class, if you do order your parts you must use patience ,they will turn up ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,eventually.

Take over your long board then just slip it in the bag with extra packaging.

creative stuff is good , but shipping it with luggage is risky i got stopped at bali with a type 3 three ali sunvisor and was asked politely with the aid off hand signals and hand guns to part with cash to let me keep it , my chick went into fits .. but hey i said i wanted to pay by credit card and wanted a reciet so they let me keep it for nothing ..
best way is find out anyone shipping anything from the uk in a container and asking to put it inside , or you can rent space in containers for a sm,all price
