Anyone used EGauges.com?
They do alot of VDO gauges , and with the current exchange rate, at a really good price.

I've had a few things from the States, no problems to date, includes:
CAT Converter
Brake Bias Valve
Oil pressure and Fuel gauges
The wing mirrors came from Hong Kong!

Yes, I bought the Hoffman Group/Aurora instruments. They had very good customer service. I am in Canada, so maybe it's a bit easier, but a
border is a border. I am not at the point where I've plugged anything in yet though...

These deals tend to be a bit less sweet if you get nabbed by customs though

even if i have to pay the VAT on them, it still works out cheaper, so i might go for it.

It's not just VAT though, it's import tax and then VAT on top.

For me, all that's included in exhorbitent UPS charges. You have to calculate all the shipping and all the customs fees and taxes and see if
it's worth it. I think it may be cheaper than your prices overall though, but do the math.

I tried the 'gift' route for my bulletcam.
Made no difference, I still got ripped off by our wonderful government.
When I rang to complain, got told all packages from America will be scrutinised by Customs and will be charged ( ripped off) accordingly.
