Default Visiting America soon

Hi guys!!


I'm off to New York on May 7th for 9 days, while im out there I was thinking I should buy the S2000 something, now the cars fairly standard so anything is possible but cant be too big.

Considerations so far are

APR brake ducts
Carbotech pads


But has anyone else got any suggestions of items that are really hard to get hold of?


Thanks

I think the wheel centre caps (center in US) are a considerably cheaper - buy a few sets and flog the rest when you get back. Should cover the cost of yours and still make a profit - win, win
ps can I have a free set as it was my idea

Found loads, but crikey, they used to be cheap though not any more

Can anyone else find cheap ones?

The AP1s are cheap but the AP2s certainly are not

Do AP2 caps fit on a AP1 facelift?

Remember that sterling is at a low against the dollar at the mo. If you keep travelling round to Japan, you'll get some bargains

If the value of the goods you are bringing back is more than £390 - don't forget Mr HMRC will want his import taxes and then VAT on top. Of course, you may get the items at a massive discount just for being so nice and you may then be able to get the receipt to prove it from the shop..... Mind you, given all the 'celebs' you see wanging on about how much they spent on trips to the US, the customs blokes must be all looking the other way these days.
