been on www.ebay.de as i was bored, and i can buy it now an irmscher steering wheel in silver and leather, for 189euros, which is roughly 130GBP.........so i decided to see how this compared to our vauxhall counterparts in our neck of the woods, 401GBP from vauxhall.....does this mean we could somehow source our wanted airdam bumpers from germany for bout 160GBP???

but on the steering wheel you would be alright as long as the shipping was under £300ish. Although with the bumpers i would imagine it would be expensive unless you picked them up yourself. Or if it's a groupbuy rent a lorry and go in a group?

Shipping with an international courier would be about £40 for the steering wheel, probably not much more for a bumper.

All depends what couriers are used.

UPS quite rightly treat the ROI as a seperate country to the UK and charges an International rate.

Would infringe on copyright laws, and you don't want a company of that size after you

Just sell it as a Irmeshir style or replica. You have to spell Irmscher wrong to be cool.

I would say they where exact replicas though, they are a business already and they are copying fairings, isn't it just the same?

as long as you don't try to pass it off as a genuine irmscher product then I think you are ok.
