Hey everyone.

 

Well, my `91 TT is now in the country :D hopefully going to be ready for collection in two (maybe three) weeks. Previous owner already fitted a sports exhaust system, lowered it, added 17s and a rear strut brace and since joining this forum I`ve aquired a JWT chip (cheers John if you`re reading this! ;) ), the Blitz Sonic Power induction kit is on order and now waiting till next month to sort out a HKS EVC V unit.

 

After buying the car and other bits as you can imagine the coffers are running a bit empty! But as is the way, theres always something else that demands to be bought! ;)

 

From the posts I`ve read it does seem that importing parts from the US can work out cheaper, but as I`ve never done this kind of thing before (customs, tax etc for the car was all dealt with by the importers, Newera) I was just wondering what the best way to go about it is, if theres anything I need to look out for, how the price structure works etc...

 

I`ve currently got my eye on a Carbon fibre APR "pylon" spoiler (am getting prepared for the Rice comments!), listed as $497.70 in the US (http://www.cartunerz.com/apr/gt200.jpg if anyone wants to take a look), about to be sold here by Impossible Performance for £650 (TBC) though some 555 injectors may take priority.

 

Cheers,

 

Leigh.

You basically have to search round for stuff. Dont forget to add 10% duty and 17.5% VAT onto imported times. A rough guide is just turn the $ in to £ and thats the price it will cost you in the end. But with importing parts there is a longer and harder process to return faulty goods.

And on something that size don't forget the shipping cost, which will be pretty high!

Z centre sells those types of spoilers.

With spoilers like that you dont need to buy one from a Z shop. They are all universal. There must be loads of places in this country who sell spoilers like that.
