4th/5th Gen door sills - END: 04 Dec
4th/5th Gen door sills - END: 04 Dec
I asked the forum administrator Indigolemon before creating that topic
Hello people,
On the french Prelude forum we have just started a group buy for laser cut door sills.
This is what they will look like :
The state of the GB right now on our forum :
The production is not started yet, layouts have been done and now Jojo in charge of the GB (he is "MnP" on the french Prelude forum) will receive the first prototype form the laser cutting company to validate the layouts and start the production for everybody.
The price :
The prototype will cost 65€ to Jojo/MnP. He asked french buyers if there was no problem in separating that cost on all other sills that would be sold. We all said it was fair.
Therefore he calculated that for 15 buyers, the door sills cost would be about 30€ shipping included to France (and about 40€ shipping included to UK).
Maybe the price for you could be different if we send all the sills to one person that could re-ship... I don't know what could be cheaper !
Pfinal = ((Pprog + (x * Pmat) + Proto) / x) + FDP
Pprog = Price for programming the laser cutting machine (fixed price)
Pmat = Raw material price (alu AG3 1mm thickness), dependent on the number of door sills
Proto = Price for the prototype
FDP = Shipping cost (maximum considered to send a pair of door sills : 7.10€ to France, 16.15€ to UK) + price of the package (cardboard + (bubble wrap or foam))
x = Number of buyers
When ?
end of the GB : 04/12/2012
No precise date for the GB end, but it would be good to know how many buyers we have in the beginning of december so everybody could put their door sills under the Christmas tree !
Some pics of the former GB :

Thank you Julienh
If you have any questions (technical stuff, details about costs or anything else), Julienh or me are here
We're now 10 people interested on the french forum, the more we are, the cheaper it will be for everyone
A last detail (important to me), neither me nor anyone makes benefits on these sills.
Have a good night!
