Hello folks, I just would like to add two links to some youtube-videos from our Copen-meeting: http://youtu.be/OFYRmETRSjs Nice summery of the amazing days in Wolfshagen http://youtu.be/DT77IT-vRWg Picture-Show of the the last event of these days, where we start with all Copen's for a ride to the "Rammelsberg", by crossing the historic center of Goslar. The poor guy who have to play the group leader (in the brown Copen) was ... me So I was not able to see all the astonished faces when we cross Goslar. :-(( Anyway ... it was a marvelousness and funny event ! Take care Andreas
Fantastic Andreas. Thanks for posting. I would love to be there but from Ireland I think it would be too expensive. M.
Hi Scooty (Andreas) Just a quick question, in the picture below there is a chrome bonnet detail which looks great. Do you or the owner of the black Copen know where this can be purchased. Many thanks http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/y303/CopenKenney/CIMG7475.jpg
I think I can help you with that one. It looks like a Kumoi Motors hood ornament. http://www.km-copen.com/parts/kmpart/exterior/ornament.html http://www.km-copen.com/parts/kmpart/exterior/index.html#6
@Adam K: You are absolutely right. Second part of the question, where to buy: Two very reliable sources: WENDELL e.U. Außenhandelsunternehmen Import & Export Aries Lastimoso office@wendell.at Magdeburgstrasse 78 Vienna1220/Austria/EU He is member of http://forum.micro-roadster.de and speaks English. Boom Enterprises: Official sales agent of Kumoi Motors, but also sells any other parts from Japan, Paypal possible, but they add 5% handling fee, or bank transfer to Japan English speaking Mail: km@boom-enterprises.com, overseas@boom-enterprises.com And Adam K somewhere here mentioned another source from the Kei car forum, just cannot find it. Andreas
The guy I use is called Dave. His e-mail address is soldave@gmail.com. Just e-mail him, telling him what you want & he'll give you a price delivered to you. I have used him many times. He's currently getting me a Limited Edition Copen grill. He has his own blog site. http://soldave.ismysite.co.uk/biginjapan/ Now I do know someone who has one of these in the UK. They might be willing to sell it, if you ask nicely.
Re. Bonnet detail Hi Scooty, Ken & Adam, Thanks for your quick responses to my question, the links to the Japanese websites and the contacts are also very useful. It's good to know there are some reliable people out there. Thanks again
