Damn...I'm really keen!

But South Africa. I don't know if we could work something out? Let me speak to a mate who'd probably been keen! Only problem is, with the exchange rate going belly up, it'll be a big expense.

Cost wise, can we use the MkV pricing as a guestimate? 140GBP? That would equate to around R2300 -

From what i've gathered from the site...
MK5 Golf one -
Pod on its own = £79
Pod including Gauge = £139 to £159 depending on gauge chosen.
On the other hand, the Beetle one is less at £45 for pod only.
so I guess it they would be in that kind of price range???
MeTsU = If it goes ahead, i dont mind posting to SA for you. You'd have to pre-pay me first, and whatever extra the postage costs you'd have to pay too.
If thats any help add name to list.

Thanks mate.

Will keep that in mind. Yea for sure, of course all expenses would be taken care of first off.
By adding my name to the list, does it mean I'm committed to purchasing?

Well is just a 'feeler' at moment, so not a comit to buy.
I guess you should (like I guess everyone else has) take the following into consideration - Possible cost of item/estimated postage costs/ may take time to manufacture and get to your door.
No idea if this is the cheapest but - Parcel force charge approx £50 for a 1KG package to Capetown.
Maybe would work out cheaper collectivly if a few from SA expressed interest?
Hope that helps!

Reply from SWG, I'll keep you posted...
Hi Dan
Thanks for the post looks like a good bit of interest, I'll purchase a vent assembly next week and have a good look to see how feasible this is, depending on design and sizing etc it might be a goer.
