VW Antigo - anyone tried them?

You can set the language to English and currency to Euro.
They take Paypal and the prices for some of the stuff I was looking at are *really* good.

Obviously shipping from Brazil won't be cheap or quick, and there's import VAT and potentially import duty to pay.

Still looks worth a punt?

If the part isn't up to snuff, you are going to struggle to return it!

That's true, but if it's significantly different than described, or doesn't arrive, there's Paypal buyer protection?
Credit card liable if the total > £100?
For sure the "not arrived" protection is easier than the "not what I expected" protection.

If it's not something I need really urgently, I might have a gamble.

I strongly suspect that these are the same parts going for 3 or 4 times the price through UK/Eu VW specialist sites.

EB hub caps @ 9.21 Euros each, or 17.37 Euros for "A-quality chrome", compares with £25 for cheapo aftermarket, or around £60 for best quality.

Not sure how much of a saving there will be after shipping, VAT, duty, but it might be interesting to see.
