jell - i will take a set..... How long do you reckon it will take to get here?

Seriously.... I'll take it. Do these come primed and ready to go? Wou;ld there be any risk of damage in delivery aswell?

Can you put my name down on the ftooc. thread list please. I go on and check the site whenever im online anyway, so at least that way i can see the updates.

- pm me payment details and i'll get the money sorted thanks :D

- jay

Its project F from japan. They have small mini-clubs eg east, south etc. This is dedicated more to their meetup pictures rather than the ''forsale' products on their project f website.

price is relative, in the UK they are cheap for what they are but over with you peeps it seems they are expensive :lol: .

but can you get wide arches for an FTO off the shelf anywhere else ????

i payed £790 ( $1636 aud )for project-f arches over a year ago, now days with the exchange rate what it is that would be more like £1200 ( $2485 aud ) landed in the UK if they were still made that is ;)

hi jay
i will put your name down but could you drop me a PM on the ftooc please and i will go through things with you there :thumleft:
i dont get much time to pop on here :)

damage during delivery is possable with all goods but these arches are sent out in wood boxes to minimise that chance, and if they are going abroad the boxes will be extra reinforced.
