Just wondering what cars people on the forums are about to import / have imported.

Also, what made you choose that car over all the rest?
Has it been a dream car for a while, or are you simply trying to save money over the UK market?

So... what and why?

I'm bringing in a new shape (2002) Estima - family dictates I need a MPV but still got my youthful tendencies, so its a bodykitted and lowered one! Don't see them like that over here, plus the price of an equivalent Uk car would cost too much for me! :D

Hmmmm a photo upload facility would be nice so you can all show off your nice cars...

Yes the kitted up new shape Estimas are very nice indeed, even the old shape ones were nice.

Kit costs more than the car! Perhaps you can find one with a kit on already? It is not uncommon, the Japanese love modifying their vehicles. If you are willing to wait for the right one to come along in auctions then I am sure you can get one. With these things its only a matter of time.

Is that a Japanese kit? If it can be purchased in Japan then we might be able to sort something out for you and ship it inside your vehicle. IF it fits inside the vehicle that is =) some vessels allow cargo inside the vehicles.

it's a varis kit yes it has to come from japan only problem putting it in the car it could get stolen Evil or Very Mad

True although we have never had bodykit stolen before.

I think it would be quite difficult for the theif to not look suspicious carrying out front, rear bumpers and 2 sideskirts =)

Take alook at the boot of this vehicle and the amount of guages and meters it had inside the car.

The only thing that has been stolen are the CD players and that is a 1% chance based on the number of cars we have imported.

If we get vehicles with nice DVD players and screans we taken them out the car and post it to our customers.

The choice is yours! We will do what we can to help.

Bodykits with MPV's are becoming very popular in the UK.

They are amazing at holding their value.
