KONIGSEDER complete body kit is available..

Konigseder
is making their complete body styling kit available to SMARTCARPARTSfor North American distribution


the cost of the complete kit as shown FOB europe is US$3275.00
the "approximate" cost of shipment by DHL to any 48 state will be $1500
(and this is subject to freight rates and fuel surcharges in the future). I have been advised by USA customs that "there would be a tax of $175 on this accessory"

SMARTCARPARTS will not stock this kit in South Carolina
Delivery to any 48 state location would be 3 weeks.
The kit is unpainted

SCOA members/viewers will have a price guarantee until September 1 when it will go onto ebay at a higher price. This guarantee covers only the cost of the kit and will not include any freight and associated import charges up to any 48 state destination.


Within the next few days I will have the price of the same complete body style kit from Brabus and will post the pricing here at that time.

Please send me a message here or a private message to smartcarparts@aol.com if you have any comments or questions.

safe driving

now you understand why im not stocking it...

Its nice to be offered "exclusive" on a product line.
It another thing that all the conditions...i.e. currency, price of fuel etc are against any import especially from a euro based supplier making the sale of this product next to impossible.

I have informed the supplier that I would post on SCOA, the largest Smart membership club in the states but that he should not get too excited at the prospect of large amount of orders.

Personally I wish Smart was made in a closed down American factory but thats another story not for here.

I pass the message and ask you dont shoot the messenger.


safe driving

individual parts

different from the stainless bumper and side tube kit from Romik where the factory would not split the set, this set does have individual part numbers and would cost FOB europe $1600. That would include the two fender extensions and the rear bumper assembly.


since that would be about 3/4 of the entire kit (in dimensions) you could figure out the approximate cost here based on the previous shipping information.

We need a better price. A complete RADO wide body kit for a Scion TC costs about $2500. These prices are too rich for my pocket, so i can't wait until other manufacturers join in.

No disrespect intended toward the vendor.

i fully agree with you...

Unfortunately, the history of American manufacturers is such that they will not design, tool up and produce any replacement parts for a vehicle production base of less than 150,000.

In europe is a different story...50,000++ smarts produced everey year for the ast 8 years.

Thats why I have no other sources.

Under conditions that were in place some years ago, the dollar was strong, there was no fuel problems and certainly no 'surcharges' AHHHH those were the days my friend..i wished they never end...

I respect your comment totally.
