Default Wagon roof rail delete - Has anyone purchased parts from USA?

Hi, I'm looking at buying these parts from America as they are cheaper than the UK. Has anyone done this before and what were the import taxes? Cheers. Ian

I'm after the same, I believe it's roughly £120 for the mouldings from subaru and then you'll need the trim clips for it

I purchased them from North Coast Subaru via ebay, my local dealer wanted £90 per strip and quoted 3 weeks delivery. I paid about £135 included delivery and import taxes

Hi,

Yes bought many parts from USA. Works out cheaper than UK even with import duty.

Try Image Import Racing, and dont forget ask for a good price if your buying multiple parts.

I also asked them to change value of what i bought so paid hardly any import duty
