Have any of you guys sourced parts from Aussie berfore? I'm trying to get hold of brand new tail lights and headlights for my calais. There are ****loads on ebay but no sellers ship to NZ. I just want the taiwanese copys and nobody in NZ does them for anything less than 3 x the price over there. Any ideas much appreciated. Cheers, Scott.

rarespares nz bud

There's a wreckers in Te awamutu that supplys them quite offten lists them on TM i just can't think of the name right now it will come to me lol

try; becarparts.co.nz they are located in Auckland, and should have what ya after.

Yeah I imported my gearbox from OZ, brand new ex Holden parts. Was a pain in the ass, I'd not want to do anything large like that again Lights and other small parts should be a piece of piss. Just email the seller and get a price to ship to NZ, most of them should do it

I have just imported some tail lights from OZ(calais ones)99 dollars on Ebay(7th set I have got)Time I got them here all up was 170 NZ.(Still a lot cheaper than buying here 225 plus freight)them here.Arived in 5 working days,They came with new seals and they look great.The guy I got them for was quite happy.what impressed me is they fitted really well.Think TYR was the brand.Only concern I would have is how long the colour would stay in them.But saying that it is not like it sits out side all the time. Cheers Marty ps even buying rarespares Ozzie is cheaper than here!

I am happy to help out where I can guys. Maybe I can forward on a few items for you?

im happy to help to guys aswell in exchange for sexual favours

haha phone sex??

No it was another trader on ebay,And anagain I have to say I was impressed with the product.99 bucks for a pair. Cheers Marty ps he is now selling them for a pair at 85 dollars,He is a power seller and goes under the name of iquay.How could you go wrong??

I've got a set of tyc brand taillights, and I'm pretty sure they haven't faded since I put them in (mind you, the car has spent the last four years in the garage!!). I got the VK SS taillights, so they are darker in colour and they have the black pin stripes. Mean.

Cheers for the help guys, my minds made up and I'm gonna go with the option to exchange for sexual favours... If that fails i'll try to contact iquay on ebay.
