57kombi - November 11th, 2003 at 10:10 AM

Would you believe it.
I have just put this post on and then recieved an e-mail from them.
Must be mind readers.
If anyone wants any deluxe trim let me know as I should be putting in an order after Christmas.
Cost would be around $700 for the trim and about $200 for shipping.
I will not be making any profit on this, just thinking that the more who order the cheaper the shipping will be as we can spread the cost between us.

Cheers
Dave

I need one or two pieces of chrome trim. do they sell individual pieces? do you have a breakdown of how much each trim cost?

Cheers, Carl.

They dont do individual pieces, if you can afford the safari's then that should nt be a problem including them in the order.

57 Kombi I am interested if you can get me a complete set for that price to suit a 60 kombi. Also I am interested in a set of front window seals as WCM ones leak.volma1

after chrissie hey Dave.
think I'll probably need some by then.
h.m. are his safari's do you know?


57kombi - November 12th, 2003 at 02:12 PM

I wont be ordering till after Christmas, Just putting the word out now.
The cost should be about the figure above,
Havent heard back from them with a shipping cost and dont know how much duty would be, but I am hoping that it will cost about $200-$300 for shipping and duty, It all depends on how many we order.

I think that even if it costs about $1000 you cant get a set of good complete used stuff for that and I have seen used stuff go on E=Bay for $1000 U.S.

I wont be reminding people but will find out a price and let you know .
Cheers
Dave

It's easier if you ring them, their email answering skills aren't the greatest. When I ordered from them it took 6 months worth of chasing before I got my stuff. The shipping will depend on what you end up getting, while the trim and stuff is light, it ends up being a big package. That's where a bit of the cost will come in.


orange - November 13th, 2003 at 12:31 PM

so 57kombi do you have some reasonable used pieces that you could sell or swap for beer. I need the passenger back corner piece.

Ta - Carl.


57kombi - November 13th, 2003 at 08:18 PM

Orange
I havent got any, thats why I am going to get it from England.
As you know you cant find any here and if you do it will cost more than the new stuff.

Cheers
Dave

About 5 years ago I was at a subaru wrecker pokin around and saw a split up the back.I had a look and it happend to be a 13 window deluxe 100% all trim but sat for 15 years too long to be saved.
I asked the guy if I could get some bits off it he said take all you like for free,even got all bumper trims but had to dig a half metre into the ground to get it off.
Also got a complete set extra when I bought my 15 window but not for sale as they are needed for other trimless deluxes.

hey everyone who is thinking of ordering stuff of creative engineering..............

i have ordered stuff from creative over here in england and sometimes they don't always send the right stuff or there may be some fitting problems when you come to fit certain items.
its a pain to us here in england but if any of you experianced the same it would be a lot worse.
i'm not trying to put anyone off because some of the stuff creative do is very very nice and good quality.

i need to get some delux trim myself so will be getting some of him soon, i'll tell you what its like.

he does some trick parts tho like the rear safari :D
as a buissness he is well respected over here and not some backstreet dealer.

if you do go to creative then make sure you have a way of checking what he is sending you all.
