Hey,

I have been looking around for misc. parts like. Chrome Engine Acc. Door Seals,Window Rubbers all that jizz.
I have been looking at plenty of US website for the chrome parts and they seem pritty cheap, Yeh i know you have to convert the price and add shipping and customs/taxes etc.
But it seems every website overseas i email they do not reply.
Not just for these parts but performance parts for other cars aswell i require. I must of sent like 15 emails to different business in the US(even big companies that have large online stores and look like they offer great stuff) the other week and not 1 has replied to assist me in prices and what parts i need and if they ship here.

Anyone else deal with business overseas that sell beetle parts and have had good responses too etc?

Cheers,
Scott

We import from the UK
Let us know what you want pricing and we will give it the best shot.
I dont think we can be beaten on a like for like basis

Cheers
Roy

Hey, check out CIP1, banner above or link below, they are great, the problem was that the shipping charges were real high, but as there Aussie custom have grown they are in the mists of finding a new carrier at a better price, at the mo there is only FedEx as a option, dont go there, wait a few weeks and they will have the newbie in place, good luck

nah proceed to the checkout, you will have a choice (more choices in a couple of weeks) choose a shipping method and pay for the items, or just email to Amanda@cip1.com she will look after you, do it first thing in the morning, b4 8am then you should get a reply

watch your letterbox for the backdoor charges too, after the parts arrive in australia! some very nasty $ may be added to your total costs. you have been warned. big brother is watching (customs,government charges)
Problem: I got probed by Aliens last night...............and I think I like it!.........E.T call ME.
