Sud Trofeo Replica bodykits

[Evan Bottcher]

Hi folks,

A chap in Adelaide is trying to get a group buy together to save some $$ shipping sets of fibreglass spoiler/arch kits for Trofeo Sud race cars.  The manufacturer in Portugal also makes kits of Trofeo Sprints.

Ben has a thread running at http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/boxer-engined-alfa-romeos/173372-alfasud-other-trofeo-kits.html

I'm still waiting for confirmed pricing, but I'm keen.  Anybody want to join in and save me some shipping costs?

Greetings BBer's,

It looks like production of Alfasud Trofeo body kits has now resumed in Europe, and I'm now able to offer the kits to Australian enthusiasts. We need 5 orders to make the freight cost worthwhile with myself and 1 other, we just need 3 or more to bring in the first batch.

I do not have access to confirmed pricing yet, but ball park is around $1000Aus + freight + duties for the sud Trofeo kit ($1500 is probably a safe bet).

They also have the following kits:
- Trofeo Alfasud Sprint (large kit, even has replacement fibre front wings!)
- Sprint 6C style(!) front and rear bumpers
- 75 Veloce kit
- Large spoiler option for the Alfasud Trofeo kit (only fits Series 1 and 2)

I'll post pics and prices as soon as I have them, but a show of hands for confirmed orders would be great.

The kits will be delivered to my workshop in Adelaide - local folk can collect in person but interstate buyers will also have to pay for the interstate freight. Turn around time will be 3-6 months and I will require payment in full up front. By doing a group buy, we stand to save about $300-$500 each on the freight.

Cheers,
Benjamin

PM sent.  If anyone else is interested, I'll hook you up with the chap organising the import.

The Sprint kit looks amazing, although I think more expensive than the Sud kit.  Here's some photos from another forum:

Attached are some more photos of the different kits.

Evan,

thanks for the PM. I have emailed him.

the widebody kit for the sprint in the pics you posted doesn't seem to match the pics shown in the link. different front spoiler set ups. I'll clarify which is on offer. still looks to be a good opportunity though as I have been unable to find anything locally.

There are two kits that I think the manufacturer in Portugal can make for a sprint.  One for the 1981 Sprint Trofeo and one for the 1983 with the wide-body look.

Here's a link that shows these, but not great photos:

*bump*

Any more interest?

[aussiehcviva]

looks like it's just me.

I have not had a message back from him as yet

Evan.

Has anyone bought a kit in yet? Any idea on actual cost?

I'm interested .. what are the $$$$$

[Evan Bottcher]

Long story, but here's the short version.  I paid a chap in Portugal a wedge of cash in January 2011 to deliver a set of Sud Trofeo replica arches and front spoiler.  These have never arrived - the chap is quite poor at communication, I eventually have found that supposedly a shipment was returned from customs after being broken by the carrier and the documentation lost.  Eventually he made a further set of replicas and had them shipped to me although they have not arrived yet, and I'm getting little response to my emails at this stage.

Although it's dubious, I also have spoken to a couple of people including one chap in the UK who did receive a full Sprint bodykit during the last year.  The chap I'm dealing with now says once this is resolved he'll never ship outside Europe again as it's put him out of pocket.

I still hope to receive my parts, and keep chasing him from time to time.

cheers,
Evan.

What a shame, Evan. Maybe it will turn up.. Fingers crossed.
