Hi, I have been talking to cip1, (California Import Products) about buying a few goodies. Went to do the transaction, and sent a form asking for copies of my drivers licence, and full copies of front and back of credit card. Now there is no way I am going to send that over the net. That is asking for it to be drained. I am hesitent to fax this also. Same reasons. Has anyone dealt with them before? Is this standard practice for them? I have never seen such behaviour before. Regards, James C.

Re my own words above on 30/10/09, as of 4pm today my items from CIP1 are now at Mascot awaiting transfer to me. Not bad, thats 5 days since I ordered it and that included a weekend.

More pressies, I'm excited (Big Kev)

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Ordered approx $800 worth of parts last Sunday from CIP1 and the packages arrived this arvo (5 working days!!). All parts there, none missing, all exactly as described. Payed via paypal, no hassles. Therefore would highly recommend.

Cip1 are pretty good.
Veedub Parts Unlimited are excellent.Fast shipping
MAMotorworks suck balls
WWest are good quality but pricey and expensive shipping
Aircooled.net is also good. Fast shipping

Its a great time to buy from the US.

Sorry Australian VW suppliers. These guys are killing it with the internet shopping stuff. So who's going to pull there finger out first?

Not that i was unhappy with (all but one) suppliers in Oz, just the exchange rate is so good. I will still buy from the Oz suppliers on most things but a bargin is a bargin.

Talking of ordering parts from US VW sites.
I am thinking of ordering a perforated off white headliner for my '66 Australian built Beetle.
Now, the headliner I order, would be for a 1960-62 Beetle?
IE: Australian built Beetle bodys are 1962 style up until the introduction of the all new 1968 1500.
Is that correct?

Thanks 🙂
