I ordered a fog light switch also. But it was not Bravekozaks vault, Mirko scamed him & all of us. Brave came through for me, & sent me his own switch. The only blame Brave owns is being trusting & slow with communicating with us. Brave made no money on the deal, I sent pay-pal to Mirko.

Geez, sorry to hear you guys had such trouble with this guy. I'm too lazy to read through the whole thread, but what was the arrangement? You guys paypal him the $$$ and he gets back to you with a shipping quote and final price? I imagine shipping would be a big portion of costs. I'd only ship with UPS or DHL with a tracking # and insurance.

Best of luck you guys!

I send Mirko an email every month. It doesn't bounce back. I assume it gets there. I get no response. Someone will have to go to Duisburg and ring his doorbell. I did some business with him once and he came through. The second time he stiffed me and all of you. I am in for over $100 worth of parts too. That is not right. I am always searching for replacement parts for you guys, but they are not very common, especially a Mazda 121 grille/headlamp/corner assembly. I haven't given up yet. I even sent email to his wife's email whose name is on the Paypal account. Sorry about this guys. I will PM you all once a month.

Can you guys work through paypal to get your money back?

There's quite a few Kia Pride stuff on ebay right now, a few headlight sets and a couple of grilles. Lots of instrument clusters. Though not as much 121 stuff. How much stuff are you guys ordering?

Here's the current Mazda 121 stuff:

Wow, just found some H&R lowering springs for the 121. Didn't know they made them 30mm lowering.

Its been too long to get anythingfrom pay-pal.

[Arnie]

Drag. I got scammed recently as well on ebay. Sigh.

Mirko parts

I understand the frustration, through the brave one i paid for a pair of 121 tail lights and a dash clock and have not heard back from Mirko. The money is gone but the friendship with Bravekozak is as good as ever. No wories here crap happens.

[Arnie]

Damn. Hmm, maybe I can start looking into sending you guys stuff if you're still interested. I don't think I have time to cruise the junkyards so ebay would be best. Were you guys being sent stuff direct from Germany individually or were they sent as a large packet to one person in the US and distributed? Were you guys paying duty on the stuff that came in?

[navdoc101]

Sent to Canada, then to US.

[bravekozak]

Gentlemen, please PM me your email adresses. I will bcc (blind carbon copy) all of you every time I send Mirko an email.

[navdoc101]

Brave , don't worry about me, we are all square. I have no problems with you, & would buy from you again.

[bravekozak]

Do you think this console would fit a Festiva?

[bravekozak]

Buy a 121 now for 300 Euros! I like the door panels. They would look good with long armrests. I also like presenting a 200000 km DA in a pastoral setting.

Should be under $400 dollars, but of course the tragedy would be the cost of shipping it over here! Agreed about the pastoral setting.

Someday I do hope to import one. Gotta find the cheapest foreign country to go to, find a car, and ship it back full of parts. Then it should just be a matter of fixing it up and then registering it when it turns 25 years old.

Three Festivas/121s/Prides should fit in a 40 foot shipping container. There would be plenty of room for spare parts inside and around the cars. Plus, the "spare parts" needn't be just Festiva parts. They could be other related (or even unrelated) parts. Hmmm, I'm gonna start another thread...

I know this rollout cover is for a Pride Kombi, but at least it's not as cludgy as the wooden one. Do you think it might fit a Festiva? Who's got a picture of the Kombi cover in action? I wonder where it attaches?
