Default Euro parts

Hi all,
I have a friend that is living in Germany for the next 2 years. We have been emailing about the possibility to get some euro parts for folks while he is there. He is currently researching the parts sources. What types of parts would you guys be interested in? I was thinking about some euro bumpers, etc. he said that shipping shouldn't be a problem. Please post your inquiries.

Euro bumpers would be sweet. Maybe a 931 vented panel too(even tho they are here in the states). That would be a nice upgrade if i ever get any money...

Todd, I'm interested in the Euro bumper, PM me a price, its for a friend!

Jason, This has been tried many times, none sucessful, I would like to see it pulled off, with minimal costs, I am sure about 90% of the NA cars on here would be up for euro bumpers, I was AMAZED when I found my set. get r done!

I'm interested.

Oh wait I have a grey market car. I already have all those parts.

Seriously i was hit in the back a couple of years ago and I could use a new rear bumper. If the price is right.

Would the euro fog/driving lights be any cheaper if purchased over there? Maybe a GB is in order?

I'm very interested in Euro N/A or Turbo bumpers, depending on price. Black preferred but not needed.

I also would love manual window mechanisms + door cards.

Let us know! Thanks!

The door cards/panels are no different. There is already a hole present in yours in the hard board behind the vinyl covering. You merely cut out the vinyl in that area to expose the hole for the crank to go thru. Feel around for the hole, you will see what I mean.

You do need the plastic trim piece where the window control switch is, however. The manual window spec one does not have a hole cut-out for the switch, and the switchblanks in the center console do not fit the hole that is in the power trim pieces.

The manual window mechanisms are readily available from Paragon Products. If they are not on the site, call them.

I doubt they would be for a small buy like this. You have to swing a huge dick or have unusual connections - like you are married to one of the Bosch girls to get those cheap. Then there is the U$D going down the toilet. Then all the paperwork. It would be hard to beat the $125 per lens some of the places charge.

And I believe those lenses may have been sold off by Bosch so not much ammortization by the new manufacturer - they are just in it for whatever is left on the table and I'm pretty sure our cars are the only ones that use that lens. So not a lot of volume going on.
