Hello Folks,

So this is the countdown so far :

Benson7 - Full set - 1x turn signals clear on silver & 2x side markers clear on white
Z07Brandon - Full set - 1x turn signals clear on silver & 2x side markers clear on white
Platinum XJR - Full set - 1x turn signals clear on white & 2x side markers clear on white
capitaineInsano - Full set - 1x turn signals clear on black & 2x side markers clear on black
JAV99 - Only turn signals - 1x turn signals smoke on silver

@ vincent661983 - PLEASE CLARIFY YOUR DESIRED FINISH & PIECES REQUIRED
@ wrightbenz - You can see the final product on https://klearz.com/x308_front_side_markers & https://klearz.com/x308_turn_signals & choose your required finish. You can also check the PICS on POSTS 14 & 21 & 24 & 31 of this thread to see the final product on a member's car : https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-200295/page2/
@ Z07Brandon - We need 10 set of each to get going, so theoretically we still need 5 more sets of turn signals & 2 more sets of side markers.

Have a good day :-)

Trying to think how we can boost this....is anyone friendly enough with their jag mechanic to ask if other customers with the car are really into their car and therefore might have an interest? If it was my Mercedes mechanic I bet they would...not my jag place though, they hella corporate.

Would a company like Mina gallery want to resell them and maybe therefore order stock? Thoughts?

Hi Capitaine,
This is a good idea. I have also talked about it to Adamesh in the UK. However because of the initial cost / mark-up / resale price I don't know if they wish to proceed.
On my part I have decided to order an extra set of turn signals to have a spare set just in case.
Therefore we still need 4 more sets of turn signals and 2 more sets of side markers.
Regards

Crazy. I would have expected people to be all over this.
But I'm confident we can get it done.

I spoke with Mina Gallery, they also seemed unlikely to proceed.

Hello all,
The only way to this happening is for those who wish to order turn signals is to order two sets (for USD 100 more).
A second set could be useful in case of a stone chip or a parking hit for example.
What do you think ?
Regards

A 2nd set for an extra 100, I'm in.

Both sets the same for me:
Clear on silver turn signals
Clear on white, clear reflectors

You know what... yolo...Sign me up for the extra set of side markers. I'd be *royally* ticked if I got tickled in the quarter panel and didn't have extra.

So basically I'm at two full sets. I think we now only need 2 fronts, and one side set?

Gentleman,
I hope this will not make you cancel :

to me

Hi,
We would consider taking the orders individually but we would need all 10 full payments ahead of time before we go in production.
So everyone would have to make a pre-payment, which we have found to be challenging in the past.
You say you have ten ppl interested, but when it's time to put money forward, no one wants to put money in and wait for production which can be a couple months.

Also our pricing has went up since we produced these ten years ago, see below the new pricing.The side markers are 125$ for clear lenses and white housings. Smoked lenses are an extra 10$. Also the reflectors inside the side markers are an extra 30$.

The turn signals are a little bigger and don't have reflectors, those would be 150$ for clear/white. Smoked lenses are an extra 10$.
I'd suggest checking in with your group, when you find ten who are willing to prepay at the new pricing point, we'll start taking payments and get it going.
As mentioned, we'll need someone to send in a set of oem lenses (both side markers and turn signals)Thanks

Tina

Please inform the group immediately if you wish to "wheel out"
Thank you

I'm still in.
For those of us that ordered a full 2nd set, is it still an additional $100?

It's a bit of a hold up from Klearz....
So the new prices are :
Turn signal - USD 150 per set and that is for clear on white and an extra USD 10 for smoked lenses. However I need them clear on silver, so I still need to clarify this with them...
Side Markers - USD 125 per set for clear on white and an extra USD 10 for smoked lenses. I still need to clarify if clear on black is available (for capitaineInsano). Also if you want the reflector effect (and not just clear plastic, you need to add USD 30
In my case and if white on silver is available for the turn signals, it would cost me for two sets USD 150 + 150 and for the two sets side markers clear on white with reflectors : USD 155 + 155 = TOTAL USD 610

So for clarification, silver finish as been replaced by grey, apparently they are very similar. All other finishes are available too.

*****

Hi,
Thats right, one person.
We don't do silver anymore, we do grey, but its very similar.
Otherwise, yes all those colors are available.

It's also worth noting that those signing up for the side markers, it would be for a set of the front and rear. Thanks

Ok gents, lets start again the order sheet :

Benson7 - 2x turn signals clear on grey & 2x side markers (front & rear) clear on white with reflectors (total value : USD 150+150+155+155 = 610)
...
...
...
...

Regarding the 10% discount and according to Klearz, this would only be available if one member bought the whole lot and then got paid individually by each other member. I don't think this is a good idea unless someone wants to play "Banker". Although I am Swiss - land of banking :-), I would rather pay the full amount directly to Klearz via PayPal with buyer protection in order to get my money back in the event the order would not be fully fulfilled.

PS: If someone wants a copy of all the emails exchanged between myself and Klearz, you are more than welcome to contact me with your email via PM...I would be more than happy to forward you the trail
