    im going to the states what should i buy ....

    old dear called me and said do you want to come US with me for your nephews first birthday. i said yes, so work permitting im off at beginning of sept.

    now for the galant important side of thing what should i buy ?

    i was thinking those altezza lights - what is the opionion on blagging the legality of them? figured will have to swap them out for the mot.

    induction kit was another thing.

    basically i figured bid using ebay and get the stuff shipped to my aunts house.

    anything else that his carriable that i could bring over??

    Nice surprise for you Bal .......

    Just beware that customs will slam you with import tax and VAT when you arrive back ........ unless any relative out there gives you a pretty card along with any purchase so that you can say it was a present.

    Have a nice day . :-D

    fully aware of the customs deal? last time i went i brought back my full ice install in my suitcase ... green channel thank you very much !!

    On a more serious note Bal, computer equipt is much cheaper. My mate brought back an LCD computer flat monitor for£70 at a time when they were about £500 over here !

    i noticed that the gls light cluster is an all in one job with the indicator being orange plastic surround. where as in the us they have some with all in one unit and the ornage indicator is just a bit of plastic that can be removed so you can have clear front clusters ??

    is this one of my typical blonde moments ???

    I havent got much cash so basically its either ice install/car stuff or computer stuff.

    Ipod hmmm ..

    carbon fibre bonnet !!! DAMN FCUKING RIGHT !!

    k 1 x CFB, 1x Altezza rear lights, 1 x induction kit ...

    ill probably only come back with one of these though, i still have to get the time off work.

    i would get a back box but im toying with the idea of side exit which means custom made ... so that's gonna have to happen over here.
