Number plate surrounds.

Post Wed Feb 15, 2006 6:25 pm

There is a guy selling surrounds on ebay from germany,i ordered a set on sunday and paid the same day via paypal.
As of now i have not had the surrounds i know its alittle early but i have not had any replys to my emails which worries me a bit.
Anybody had any dealings with number plate surrounds with this guy.

Germans have a very good rep with being honest

Yeah germans are normally very effiecent and honest..just look at the e30's

,
I ordered one off him and to be honest he doesnt speak the best of english so perhaps email him and just confirm with him,

Yeah a bit stupid of me i suppose

,its just that i have sent him a few emails and have had no replys.
He did tell me his gran did not understand any english so i guess that might be the problem.
I hope he posts them soon as they look great fitted.

I have also bought the set with the Alpina Logo should look good when fitted.Yes steve i have gone ahead with the purchase hope it was a clever move

.
I have also bought a Hardtop for the old girl so pretty happy at the moment she goes for an Mot on Tuesday at BMTEC its the only time he could fit me in he is that busy.
So have to take a day off work and hopefully get everything sorted with the dvla on the day.

Go onto google and use the language setting. Type in what you want inenglish and convert it to german. I dont speak a word of it myself but have sent several emails to german ebay users and they reply back in german too as if they know what im on about.

Thne just highlight their txt and copy and paste it into google again and choose german - english setting to understand it.

Very easy. By doing this i can comunicate in about 5 languages!!

Arnt i clever!

No Gazza i am going to keep the rear boot spoiler on as i think it would be to much trouble taking it off plus i would be left with to big holes and i would then need a new boot

.
I am looking for a set of rear heads but it looks like i wont find a set in black leather anytime soon so might just have to get a set covered.
I really need to get some sort of alarm system sorted next so thats my next point of call been quoted Ãƒ”šÃ‚£230 for a nice system that works with micro waves so it works even when the roofs down.

No surrounds today
