Post by: GTi_James on 31 May 2013, 08:46
hey guys, trying to get my hands on a TIP for later this year

came across this from the US of A

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-TT-VW-Golf-MK4-Seat-Leon-1-8T-Turbo-Silicone-Air-Intake-Induction-Hose-Pipe-/281061581299?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41709361f3#ht_2353wt_1170 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-TT-VW-Golf-MK4-Seat-Leon-1-8T-Turbo-Silicone-Air-Intake-Induction-Hose-Pipe-/281061581299?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41709361f3#ht_2353wt_1170)

and noticed other goodies that are of interest as well

wondering if anyone can spot me anything better for this upgrade? tried searching google and got a bit upset with the prices lol

anyone know of anywhere that does a good deal?

Just don't forget the import duty and VAT payable on all items wether they be new or second hand.  :angry:

Hmm,  I've been stung  on import duty more times than I like to remember. It definitely spoils the surprise of an overseas package.  :sick:
