Odd question but would anyone have a clue what the front, rear valances and a pair of sideskirts would weigh as they won't fit in car and would have to be carried one by one to post office. I'm sort of guessing 20-25 kilo but need to be more accurate + consider packing.

Not wanting to piss on your bonfire or anything, but im not sure if the post office will accept the kit. When i was looking for a kit i spoke to a bloke in Scotland who had what I wanted and he said that on previous attempts they refused it as it was too long! He offered to cut the bits in half but I declined!

hi,ive sent quite a few bodykits,they've never questioned me,never had to cut one in half!cost about Ԛ£40 all in,thats standard parcel. these are supposed to be no longer than 1500mm and the bumpers are a little longer,but not enough to worry about. obviously the sideskirts are alot longer but theyre so thin and light it doesnt matter. if your going to send one or have one sent get them to take it to a main post office,like one in town,not a little corner one in a little village run by 90 year olds!!

yes cant be over 1.5 meters, and the bumpers are especialy when packaged. Make sure you put strutds in the bumpers, or they can bend and crase on the corners causing cracking in paint. It happened to me. :cry:

Cheers I know post office has a limit of 1.5 m and yeah they're only just over it. I might need to send to America though UPS seem dear though. I just don't know on the weight could be 30-35kg hard to tell.
