to ship a complete set is normally ?150, but this has one extra disc, hub, caliper, shaft....so ?200 is not unreasonable.

They look like 8.4" discs....probably not worth the ???.

Considering 200 pound is like $500 here, you'd want to get the whole lot for about
100 pound for it to be a reasonable buy.

Tell him to ditch the brake rotors which weigh alot. A new set here is cheap for 8.4's. I bet you will save money right there and have brand new rotors... Either way you are looking at the ugly side of $500 i'd say...

Can I suggest this shipping, I have used it before and it only took about 2 days from UK to Singapore.

It is a division of DHL. I did find some promotional code somewhere which saved 10% too.
Here it is....

Not sure if it still works.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Well I won the bid for 21 pounds, so does that help :D I thought the shipping was a bit ridiculous, but you guys seem to think thats about right. Hmm, decisions decisions. :?

Gee not to sure about the shipping from there.. But I could ask my friend in the UK within the next couple of days for you.

But if I had won them I would have gotten my friend in the UK to pick them up for me and then get him to arrange shipping for me perhaps even through his dad's work :).. As his father is head honcho at Pilkington glass :).

Ever since buying Granny I have been thinking about getting him to source Mini parts for me over there. As he knows I love Mini's and there isnt anything he would do for me :). But I am unsure if there is much he can get over there for me considering that she was made in Australia. But if I had a roundie then that would be a different story..

For a medium sized package parcel2go is definately the best option. They exist coz all of their parcels are the same price to any destination. ( I think its 67 pounds for under 16kg to Australia). So if you come close to the 10+ kg, they are the best value.
