If I were still stationed in the UK (got back last year) i'd hook you up, but I don't think the parts would be worth it with the pound to dollar rate

You should shoot a dealer over in the UK an email asking if they will ship. Some will. I know someone that ordered a vauxhall front end for their GTO and got it through a dealership in the UK. It cost an arm and a leg to ship, and he paid a good penny on the conversion rate, but he wanted it - and got it.

+1. When I was in the UK I looked into it and it wasn't very cost effective.

exactly. those 'accessories' mitsu sells are horrible. they get carbon fiber aero parts, shift knobs and engine covers, we get plastic gurney flaps and crap aero kit parts. just a bad deal.

Are there any vendors on here from the UK? Or maybe a there's a vendor from the US who has a relationship with someone in the UK who could source these parts? Doubtful, but I'll dig around and see if I can come up with anything.

I have the FQ series CF/aluminum shift knob and e-brake handle (they feel awesome by the way). An aquaintence on here (Beetle Orange) had some sort of connection/hook up over there and had already ordered his Vortex Generator and got me in on it since it could all be shipped together. I think there's a guy on lancer registery that does things like that but, I'd shoot Beetle a PM though. Good luck. I almost didnt post because i like having rare, unique parts but oh well
