WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Selling a piece of dry carbon fibre vacuumed plastic (DCFVP) Vorsteiner VRS Race Hood for E46 SEDANS.

http://www.vorsteiner.com/models/pdf/cfp-press.pdf

Reason for selling: I am getting a new piece.

Fitment is not very good. It buldges up at the sides. However, the edges where the bonnet meets the bumper and windscreen is fine. It is currently painted Tourmaline Violet with the CF vents unpainted. Painting and installation costs around $350 at Mike's (Sin Wee Chuan).

You cannot strip off the paint to reveal the CF underneath as there is already a layer of primer. You can only paint it to the colour of your car. However, the CF weave of the vents will still be visible.

If you're not fussy about fitment, this is your chance to own one for CHEAP. I paid over $2500 WITHOUT painting/installation fees.

Selling at $700. NO BARGAINING PLEASE.

*EDIT* I have received higher offers than my posted selling price, hence it will be an auction from now on.

Latest bid is $820 (eddie)

SOLD TO EDDIE


I will keep updating the bids.

Please SMS 9009 2897.

Bonnet will be available after I uninstall it when I come back from overseas next week. Viewing can be arranged (still fitted on my car) before Thursday, 8th June before I leave.

Here are some pics of it on my car:

Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

wah, this is damn cheap man....

Fitment aside,
this is: (based on retail market)

1)light, ($1300)
2)vented cooling, ($300)
3)M3 hump cosmetic ($200)
4) Real CF Vents ($500)
5)Carry a Vorsteiner sticker and brand (Pricelessss-not taiwan copy)
6) Whole new look. (Priceless)

Total retail value:$2300 + priceless. or New Vorsteiner $2500+ YOu selling?
$1800 discount for a little fitment issue.....STEAM ah! Those hardcore guys wouldnt careless....

Additional:

Coupe hoods - many around! FL Sedan(only), very very rare! and its new!!! Lastest release from VRS.

How many will pay hundreds just for one of the above???

More positive than negative for that price? Adam you are mad!

Guys,
Deal of a century!

Who is the lucky buyer will laugh his way to the sale. Bet it will be sold by tonight!
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

how bad is the buldge arrh?..... shit.. abit itchy .....
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Would be good if its still in CF print throughout. Anyway, this is for FL or pre-FL e46 sedans or both?
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Can't it be adjusted?? It's a pity leh. :whythis:
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Buay sai adjust. If can, I won't be selling liao...

It's for guys who don't mind it not fitting perfectly. As you can see from the pictures, from most angles, it still looks good!

My extreme loss is your extreme gain...

Think about it:
1) you save MORE than $1800 over a new one
2) it's literally NEW
3) no waiting time (I had to wait for MONTHS)
4) It's already primed, so paint/installation is probably gonna be much cheaper
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

SMS Sent~!..................... :D
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Its been 3 and a half hours since he had posted it for sale!No one interested?

Guys, MAI TU LIAO!!!!!!!!!

Light weight + Cooling!!! = Performance

M3 hump and Cf vents = Priceless Aggressive Cosmetics

Fitment out....minor issue la, you didnt even pay 1k for it. Some taiwan made CF hood over 1K already had fitment issues.. Honda Jazz CF hood also not so cheap. The E36 CF M3 look mirrors already more expensive than this plus hardly noticable...but this???? Ok i beaten the horse to death. :p

bump bump bump
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Blackstealth, no need to feel guilty for scolding me lah! Hahaha...

Javiero, you can view before I leave on Thursday if you can.

Just a reminder: whoever confirms the purchase will get it. SMS offers TO VIEW will NOT be put in a queue. SMS offers saying "I BUY NOW!" is what counts.
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Adam, if this sale is not secured by page 3...

If it is, you owe me $5 coffee/meal voucher. How? Ok..no more bump and cock talking here ok!

OT abit. Bought your E46? Congrats! :woowooo:
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

T6: Havent buy. Whahahaha... But just wanna get this Vorsteinner bonnet 1st so that I'll be more tempted to get a e46 :p

Btw: When are u guys game for 2 rounds of 5/10? :p

CBS: HUH?? Bidding? :( I was about to confirm on ur initial asking price of SGD700 :(
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

And I was about to sell it to you at $700 too. But suddenly the phone started jumping.

If only you confirmed a liiiiiitle bit sooner before the offers came. Cos you were the 1st one to respond.

Anyway, $800 is still cheap lah. I will keep updating the bids and you can see if you're still interested by next Tuesday. Or you can bid $810 now? Haha...

I don't think it will go up by a lot anyway...
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

No probs man. Anyway tmr I see whether Im free to meet up with u to view. Let u know tmr. :)
 
Re: WTS: Vorsteiner SEDAN Bonnet

Thanks for understanding Javier.

I do feel kinda bad for doing this. But I think anyone would want to maximise a sale given the opportunity.

How it became an auction was like this:

Potential buyer 1: I would like to view you bonnet tonite.
Me: Sure. Please come to ... at 9pm tonite.

Potential buyer 2: I wanna buy your bonnet. Can confirm now?
Me: Ok, let me inform someone who is coming tonite to view not to come first before I confirm with you.

Me to Potential buyer 1: Hi, someone is coming to buy my bonnet now, so please don't come for the viewing tonight.

Potential buyer 1 to me: I offer you $750 to buy your bonnet now.

Me to potential buyer 1: Erm, ok, let me tell the other buyer 1st.

Me to Potential buyer 2: Sorry, but the other guy just offered me $750 for the bonnet and he will take it.

Potential buyer 2 to me: I will pay $800.

So I SMS'd both and said: Guys, it will be an auction from now now and bids close next Tuesday.

In any case, if at the end of the day, all the deals and promises to buy fall through (as they always do), I will still sell it at $700.

If nobody wants it, I'll make it into a coffee table, haha...
