Default Going to Belgium. Help figuring out how to find and bring back some euro parts?

I'm headed to Belgium for an impromptu vacation later this week.

I figure while I'm there, I should try to find some euro parts that aren't available in the US and are expensive to ship from the EU.

Not sure that Belgium is a hotbed of 944 wreckers or parts, but if I'm there I should try.

Anyone know how I might find a euro bumper/mounts and headlight assemblies with the beam height adjusting motors?

Lots in England and Germany, biggest one in Euro is in Holland: http://v-zweeden.com/ but I don't know any in Belgium.

I always ship a few parts over when I visit as I have access to a portion of my friends shipping container. Taking them by air is a pain and expensive. The airlines will charge you oversized baggage for a bumper and customs here will definitely want a look and can tax you. Certainly bring some smaller parts if you find a breaker nearby where you will be, but for the larger parts it's sometimes more cost effective to pay the shipping.
