Davemk1 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 1 hour ago, NickBW said: Boom. Weight is 2.6kg Mine has the AB performance grille and AeroCatch clips installed For me, i have to make several cuts along the inside lip in both corners across the scuttle to allow the sides to be pulled in without applying too much pressure. also both lower corners didnt line up to the carbon scuttle very well so i used some resin to build out the sides to get a better finish line Aerocatches complicated it as its very thin compared to a OEM part form Westfield hope that helps Thank you - I think I understand but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a clean way to show what you mean with a photo or two? FWIW my stock Westfield engine cover weighs 14.6 lbs or 6.6 kg....if your carbon part weighs 2.6kg that's a savings of 4 kg (or 8.8 lbs). To me this is a big deal. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowy892 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi Guys, I've been in contact with Tofugarage and purchasing doesn't seem an easy task (now we're out of the EU) I need to obtain a EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I got mine whilst we were still in the eu not sure where you are but possibly speak to Christoph and see what can be arranged if you happened to be “passing his door” after a quick channel hop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory's Dad Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I bought some seats from Portugal whilst we were in the EU using PayPal. Delivery should have been before we left but wasn't. Vendor refunded VAT and I paid DHL about the same and got them in February last year. Apart from the delivery fiasco, it was straight forward. A big EU wide delivery company like DHL knew what they were doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
