As much as I agree with the sentiment (and I'm a fellow UK owner looking to buy something from VAP), it's a bit too simplistic to suggest that the price in USD, converted to GBP plus VAT is the price we should pay over here from somewhere like David Appleby Engineering. For starters you have considerable shipping costs, on heavy and/or bulky items. I believe I'm right in also saying that the USA store prices are always shown exclusive of sales tax, which varies from state to state so even the US residents aren't going to necessarily pay the headline price listed on the site (please correct me if I'm wrong here, I usually am when trying to speak about all matters foreign!). Traditionally, here in the UK, we've pretty much always seen "price of something in the USA, in USD = price we pay in UK, in GBP" across a lot of stuff, especially IT kit. All in all, it's not a simple "price in dollars on web-site converted to GBP is what we should expect to pay". Then we have to factor in the fact that it's very rare to get something at the exchange rate shown on any given day, the banks / card issuers usually use a different exchange rate (obviously working in their favour).
All of that aside, it would be great if we could either:
a) Get the same Black Friday discount over here from the UK agent
or
b) Order direct and have the items shipped
I'm after the ECU tune so I'm not sure option b) is a starter as my F-Type is >2018 so it needs the loaner tool and I'm not sure VAP are going to want to send that across the pond, no matter how trustworthy my face

Yes...Will definitely notice either way. SVR starts 25 HP higher than R...All V8's end up the same...Here is a comparison of their data (VAP). All significant gains!

Just Tune on 5.0:
STOCK = 495, 510, 550, 575BHP —-) TUNED = 605BHP
STOCK = 461, 502, 517FT/LBS —-) TUNED = 542FT/LBS
Tune and Lower Pulley on 5.0:
STOCK = 495, 510, 550, 575BHP —-) TUNED = 645BHP
STOCK = 461, 502, 517FT/LBS —-) TUNED = 597FT/LBS

Two questions: First, when I added a V6 tune to my shopping cart, I received a magenta error message that a tune file had been removed. Is this because the tune file will be delivered later by email?
Second: Do you take Paypal? I have a balance I'd like to use to pay for the tune.

Just had a look on your website vs David Appleby (UK Supplier), are you able to work with them to get prices under control??? That's a lot more than just import duty, we're paying double!! Unfortunately they're pricing you out the market.

How does the tuning work exactly? Do we have to ship or send something? Or is so simple that its all done from our garage?
Also, I have cats on the way. I hear it's best to get a tune to clear the faults. Would it harm the engine if we didn't? Something we could clear with the home tuning?

Cats may set off a CEL, as the O2 sensor parameters may be exceeded with the new high flow system. Tune does fix/prevent that. Mine is running great!
Good luck,

The pricing DAE has listed on their website is inclusive of 20% VAT + Shipping & Duties included. It does not appear they have the sale pricing set up on their web store but if you email James@DavidApplebyEngineering.com they will be able to provide you with sale pricing. It won't work out exactly the same as our sale pricing because of the aforementioned shipping & VAT but it should be pretty close.

Has anyone had issues ordering a V6S tune and pulley? I tried to order a tune and pulley for my 2016 V6S. When I go to the cart I get the message "Tuning File has been removed from your cart because it can no longer be purchased. Please contact us if you need assistance.” I emailed VAP a few days ago but have not heard back yet.
Any insight?

I think you will be able to get what you want....I think they are likely just swamped a bit, and then the holiday does not help.
Good luck,

I think that is just a glitch with their site honestly. I already have the tune and Pulley for my R AWD and when I logged back in, weeks afterwards I got the exact same message. I also think they are very busy with the Black Friday sale, as I am waiting for an updated ECU / Tune file since adding the Cats has caused a CEL now.
