Small update......
I was missing the rain tray under the bonnet and my glovebox door was broken, i managed to secure both items today from a Deutch car for €10 so i was  , I also have a brand new set of HELLA rear lamps on the way from the States also ......

Other bits im fairly anxious to get my hands on whilst stockpiling,
1.Bonded windscreen

Brand spanking new US. rear lamps and Gaskets, All the way from the other site of the world in 7 days, using priority mail....not 1 mark or dent, or cut etc on the box and no customs fees payable, fair play to the U.S. postal service and an Post our local posties for this 1.... 

the rears are completely different on these compared to euro lamps, each bulb has a seperate holder where as the euro cars have a lamp board...
