I bet he says that to all the girls - er, boys
Heath said mine was the nicest he'd seen so ner
Seriously though, glad to hear it's in good condition, it would've be a crime against humanity if that beautiful front bar had been damaged in transit.

LOL I spoke to Ben today and he said that mine was one of the best they'd seen...

But did he call it Mint??? 
Are you sure it's Seaway that rebate, cos I'm having a hard time with shipping I was originally quoted $200-$250 for mine to Adelaide and I just got the bill for $507 which was a shock. Then I tried to organise something with Nicola the Sales Manager and let's just say er... nothing...

My story gets worse - $380 to get my own parts down from QLD - no rebate possible.
Plus I was charged $77 for packing by shogun and the packing job looks like it was done by a blind invalid with no hands!
The front bar was the only part that looked like it took more than 2 seconds to pack - and even that was not packed well enough and the SINGLE layer of bubble wrap around it was worn through during transport leaving the paint to rub off of it!
Plus because the car ended up coming down by rail - I have to go and pick it up or pay another $77 to have it trucked from Dry creek to my house!!??
So I am probably going to spend $33 on a temp permit to drive it home - what shits me is that J-spec told me that there was a 1 month temp permit option and it seems there isn't - $33 = 1 day, $48 = 3 days...
So I hope to hell I can get the car registered in 1 attempt...
As it stands it is going to cost at least 2 x $33 for temp permits or 1 x $33 + 1x$48...
I will probably take the latter option because even though Shogun claimed they complied the car to AU standard they didn't (on the dotars website they claimed it was raised to 13.5cm!!???) - they replaced my TEIN adjustables with my stocks but this left the car still to low 9.5cm instead of 10+ cm required by law.
And have suggested that I should refit my TEIN suspension to get her through but that my suspension adjustable collar was rusted in place and they could not be bothered to spray it with some WD40 to loosen it - which is what Ben from Shogun suggested is all I may need to do - problem is I don't have the tool even if I can unstick it! - more $$$
And then Regency may turn around and say - nup no aftermarket shocks and i will be stuffed as my stock ones leave the car to low when the front bar is fitted - which is my next challange!
What shits me is that my front bar now needs re-spraying and I don't want to fit it back to the car until this is done - as this will just add more costs... but I have to have a front bar to register the car....
Might just take one of the side skirts off that also needs a spray - and take it along with the front bar to be sprayed whilst I work on the car - but I think from the look of things that I wont be driving her (registered) anytime soon!!!

Matt the rebate only applies to cars that are shipped through Kiwi Car Carriers, yours was shipped through Mitsui. Seaway, who handle Kiwi Car Carriers' business here in Australia, also operate as customs brokers, which is why you were in contact with them.
I was just looking for another way... As you know my budget is stretched... Also I'll add my invoice is from Seaway, that's why I thought that...
Wash your mouth out with soap, young fella! lol
Nearly there tiger - all will be forgotten once you come on-boost for the first time
Yeah sorry kids...
Kristian I want my car NOW! Do you know what it's like driving around in this...

Sheesh James, that's tough...
I have to admit this makes me VERY cautious about the whole Shogun thing... I know my car is 100% stock so shouldn't need to be pulled apart at all, but this kind of dodgy, don't-give-a-shit attitude is VERY concerning from anyone who comes within 6 feet of your car... Let alone people who are actually working on it!
