Cool ANYONE USED JAPAN PARTS?

Ok guys,think im going to bite the bullett in a couple of weeks and join in on the "Flap" club Im thinking of getting one from japanparts.com. It's nearly £300 but at least i know it has all the bits needed.

Anyone used them before? And is there import taxes to be paid

I had stuff for the Leggy from them, top bunch.

Fecking Royal Mail made the buying experience bad though!

I have used them in the past and highly recommend them,you will have no probs

You will have to pay VAT and Import Duty on the items,but in my case this worked out alot cheaper than buying the same items here.
