Reliable sellers?

Hey guys!

I'm looking at buying an aftermarket front bumper and some aftermarket headlights for my CG Lancer, and was after some advice on where to get them from.
I live in SA, so there's not really many places to buy this stuff from in person, so I'm buying it online.

For the headlights, the eBay seller known as "autopart_au" (http://myworld.ebay.com.au/autopart_au/) has a fair few different styles of headlight that suit my car, but I don't know anything about his reliability. And seeing as how the parts are coming from Taiwan, I don't really want to have to do a whole back-and-forth thing if the parts don't fit. Has anyone bought any head/tail lights from this guy before?

In regards to front bumpers, two sites seem reliable enough. These are http://www.gtautostyle.com.au, and http://www.carmate.com.au.
Same thing as before: has anyone bought stuff from these sites before? If so, are they good quality/reliable?

Thanks!

lol

as for ebay sellers, check the customer comments, they should shed some light on the reliability of the seller

as for GT autostyle, i cant say that i have ever bought off them, but as for carmate i have... and they are *fudge*ing useless, but thats just the opinion of one person
 
if you look at carmate.com.au, they aren't to bad, but i had someone fit my front bar.
if you look under cg the evo 7 bonnet and the MITLAN02BX2FB they are pics of my car.
 
Never liked gtautostyle, not enough information on their website about their products/ordering/prices/postage.

I have bought about 4 things from carmate and they have all been good quality. Strong fiberglass too, didn't chip or break apart when it got knocked around, just a small crack. And they were some massive knocks too. Although they are quite expensive compared to other places, they also offer a hell of a lot of options that no other place gives you.

As for ebay sellers.... don't buy from China at all, no matter what it is. Malay/Aus/US have the best quality products from my experience. Two things I bought from US sellers had minor fitment issues but I just MADE them fit in with some elbow grease.
 
Fibresport... Our sponsors, numerous good reports about them, should be able to give you a bit of a discount maybe?

Headlights, Don't buy US, and always buy from Aussie sellers.
 
Thanks Skippy!

I'll check out Fibresport!

*EDIT* Just had a look, all they have for the CG series is Evo 7 stuff, which isn't what I'm after :/
 
I bought my headlights from Autopart_au. They're not plug n play so don't expect that but if you are prepared to put a little effort in they are ok. ;)
 
im pretty sure fibresports would post out yes.
and they have a wider range, you will just have to give them a call and enquire.
say you are from auslancer and they should take care of you.
i've got a kit from there and so have a few other people. way better quality than ebay
