Even though GregorFuk has sold his CSL and moved on to the Porsche world...I feel that he is owed a public review based on my experience since his character came into question.
TLDR: This is the best private seller I have ever done business with. He went above and beyond, literally every step of the way. The FS Ad: GregorFuk's for sale ad was very thorough. Unlike most, whom only post pictures. Gregor went above and beyond by uploading a full video recording of the bumper I purchased, pointing out every flaw (and lack their of) in what he was selling. A picture is worth a thousand words...a video is worth more. This is the first time I have had a seller upload a video. I knew EXACTLY what I was getting and the item arrived EXACTLY as described. Top notch. Transaction: Very SMOOTH. Payment was instant on my behalf and he NEVER once requested that I forego PayPal Protection via paying by "Friend's and Family." I paid via "Goods and Services" with full buyer protection. Top notch and hassel free. No games. No BS. Communication: - Literally some of the best I've had experience with from a seller. - He provided screenshots of every payment received (initial purchase + shipping cost). - Without needing my request, he provided pictures of the package material he was ordering, receipts for it's cost, and a timeline of when it would arrive. - We communicated back and forth about how to package the item and he went above and beyond with the box and package material. Literally the most well protected packages that I've received by either private sellers or from commercial purchases. - He worked with me on every step of the way for shipping logistics. - He provided a tracking number and frequent updates on when the package was picked up and updates during it's transit. Not even 10min after it had arrived, he reached out to make sure everything made it safely. Above and beyond, folks. Shipping logistics: I reached out to a few places locally about shipping, but found that shipping was pretty crazy when getting quotes. He took care of all the shipping arrangements from his end. He provided package dimensions and weight. He asked which of the options for delivery time and cost I wanted (provided receipts), ect. What is interesting is how much shipping quotes differed between countries. When I called UPS for International shipping, I was quoted MORE THAN DOUBLE the cost of shipping that the Gregor was quoted when he called UPS International from the UK. Same shipping company, same box dimensions and weight, same origin, same destination, same shipping time guarantee option, same declared value and insurance....Unreal. So I went with his quote and he saved a LOT of money by doing so! Packaging: -This was the MOST well packaged item I have ever purchased...EVER (both private sales and commercial). -Understandably so, I was SUPER nervous as to how this would arrive given the long passage it would take over the Atlantic from the UK. Often, by the time boxes make it to my doorstep, they look like they were beaten to death with a metal bat. This box arrived EXACTLY how it looked prior to shipment. Perhaps UPS saw the huge declared value and took extra care of it...But more than likely it's because the seller went ABOVE and beyond packaging this! -The item arrived 100% protected, in the exact condition that it was in prior to shipment and as shown in the video. Mint condition. ![]() Double boxed, in what is the thickest cardboard I have ever seen. Practically plywood. The box was fully sealed via hot-glue and then stabled. Every part of it was reinforced on the inside, as well as every corner and edge. Finally, the box was strapped with the plastic straps in the image above. Above and beyond. The boxes were from a high-end bike store (which I will take note of for the future, if I ever need to ship something of similar size with equal durability/protection). Bomb proof, despite changing hands LITERALLY 20 times in the course of it's voyage. An absolutely MASSIVE box: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Corner edges expertly protected -- Always a spot of concern. When I received my package today, I noticed that the bumper felt much heavier than I expected for a fully carbon bumper... ...That's because he includes all the mounting hardware (OE CSL bumper shocks and ASA bolts)...Totally unexpected and a very well welcomed surprise. That explains the 17kg in weight. I did NOT know that he was going to include these. That was extremely generous of him. Above and beyond. ![]() *Excuse the mess, currently preparing the house for a massive hurricane. Perhaps I will lay in this empty box if I need protection. =P I will take better pictures when the weather clears...It was quite dark and cloudy outside, but I wanted to take them before all hell breaks loose from the sky. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not even a single scratch on the bottom! ![]() ![]() A little white vinegar will clean the surface rust off the ASA bolts. ![]() ![]() Don't mind the trees reflecting off the splitters. ![]() ![]() Came with the OE CSL Washer bottle too! ![]() Genuine BMW Stamp of Approval. Made in Slovenia! ![]() Close up of the backside, showing that the full bumper is made from BMW factory carbon fiber: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I can hardly believe this is real-life. I almost feel ashamed to have to repaint this in Oxford Green. I've got to say...SilberGrau is a MAGNIFICENT color. Kind of wish my whole car was that color after seeing this. It's unfortunate that such a standup, genuine, communicative, and honest seller has moved on from the CSL. This has been one of the best private buying experiences I've ever had, due to his thoroughness. I would NOT hesitate to do business with him in the future. He is the real deal and makes it to the very top of my long list of buying from private sellers, and as such, I felt compelled to leave him this public feedback to the community since his character came into question. ![]() 11/10 buyer's experience. ![]() Last edited by Dr M3an M3; 14-09-2018 at 11:59 PM. |

Totally agree with Glendog74! Gregor is a top guy and i still feel sad he let his CSL go! He was the part of me getting my CSL as he took me for a ride in his one and helped with advice etc. before i bought mine.
Great to see this post so we can appreaciate such as good manners, respect and transactions within forum!!! ![]() |

I also had some very good experiences with him. Comparable to a logistics company I've previously worked with.
