      oh yeah, i gotta second this motion. i have gotten front bumpers, rear bumpers, and tons of other parts. all four S2 axles, and even a complete rear diff for the 3B S2.

      the diff cost me $100 GBP complete, including shipping from there to USA. and the diff is alot lighter than a x-member/IC. he does it thru DHL mostly.

        Do some google searches for cheap US parcels... i use parcel machine, interpacel, parcel2go etc whoever's cheapest to where i wanna go. In 5 mins i can get 10KG to the USA for £60, sure you can do better with a bit more searching! Going for the shipping option with 2-3 week times can often be cheaper too, just do some shoppig around! Opening an account often gives you 5% off at these places too.

          use interparcel.com or parcel2go.com and find the international fedex option. be slightly creative with the measurements. i've sent bumpers to the states for under a hundred quid and they've arrived in less that 48 hours.

              creative enough that the driver gave me a "look", pulled out a tape measure to get the right dimensions, got me to sign the customs stuff and took it away.. no argument, he just seemed a bit miffed at the odd shape. Think I said it was 130cmx30cmx30cm or something

              interparcel - 10kg, 40cmx30cmx10cm - 2 options (DHL or own) at £53
              parcel2go - same dimensions - FedEx 1kg to 70kg world express service £49.97
              even increasing the weight to 20kg you can get it at £73.
              go on.. be creative
