Default Overnight parts from Japan

HELP!!!!

I've been looking at getting an Apexi Power FC and commander for my car for some time now!

After I've done the FMIC and various other bits, this is the only thing left to do to my car to achive maximum power/boost, Anyways I've seen this one on flea bay..................

APEXI Power FC EC + C Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 GF8 V 3-4 on eBay, also Engine Tuning Parts, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 05-Oct-08 19:43:37 BST)

Would I get stug on Import taxes or anything customs wise?

Seems cheap for that price? They want £550+ from anywhere in this country,then you have too get it fitted and mapped!

Just after saving a few bucks thats all...........

Anyone?

I often but stuff from overseas on ebay. Strictly speaking, you should pay VAT for anything over £40(ish). But most sellers are aware of this and will downvalue the item on the customs form and mark it as a gift or replacement for faulty goods.

You could get unlucky and get collared if customs catch on. Plus your item will not be adequately insured (because the value was lowered).

Yes! I wasted ten minutes trying to find a still from the garage where they said that. Id like to think that there was a touch of irony in the OPs comment.....
