Title: Want american spec parts?
Post by: Gloves88 on 08 February 2009, 00:12: I've been in touch with a guy on vwvortex lately as I was after a part from the states.

He's told me he can get most american spec parts for mk 1,2 and 3's. Currently has a westmoreland set up, american spec tail lights plus access to lots more...

So thought I'd put a post up on here to see if anyone was after anything specific from the US as I can put you in touch with him.

Is a really genuine and honest guy, have no problem what so ever recommending him if you were after anything....had what i was after and had it sent over without a single issue...

let me know,

Cheers

Post by: Gloves88 on 08 February 2009, 13:24: Shipping was quoted as 5-10 days but mine arrived in 6 I think, wasnt desperate for the part so didnt really pay attention.

He marks it as a gift as well so dont have to pay duties on it either.

Let me know if your after anything and I'll give you his vwvortex username and email.

All sorts really...u.s. tail lights, u.s. body parts (panels could be expencive to post tho) anything you can thing of.

Westmoreland setup isnt really my cup of tea either but someone might like it.
