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

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.

Best bet is to befriend someone on Vortex...

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