Geastb 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I notice there are a few chargers and other things on vwvortex at the moment. How much (roughly) would it cost extra to get them shipoped over here? I'm just wondering about customs and the like?Would the american stuff fit straight on the uk engines or would i need some mods done?Any help appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 You'd have to pay import duty at 2.7%, vat at 17.5%plus shipping which would be about £100 for a charger.American stuff fits. Well chargers do anyway. Not sure about turbo kits. Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'm assuming the US is the best/cheapest place to get chargers (due to the £ v $)? Link to post Share on other sites
mark@vagworx 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 As Ben said really.US is by far the best place at the mo due to the exchange rate Link to post Share on other sites

Joe M 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Whats the best way to pay for used parts from the US, is paypal ok or better to send a cheque by snail mail? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'd say paypal. It's free, secure and instant. Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 best way is to go over there and physically pick up the stuff you want and fly back with it, you can fly over there for £145 i think . plus u can have a nice holiday too..! bonus! Link to post Share on other sites

Valver 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 The turbo kits don't fit afaik as the manifolds are for LHD only.... Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 and you need the ignorant americans to ship the stuff to start with as they seem very reluctant to do so in my experience so far. no matter, i sorted mine in the uk now! Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I've had no problems in that dept. As long as they accept paypal and you pay the shipping charges I can't see anyone refusing. Link to post Share on other sites
