Default UK parts availability/price comp. To USA

Howdy

my wife is dragging me back to the UK for Christmas…

im wondering if anyone has found certain xk8 parts cheaper over there, that might be easy to bring back in a suitcase? I already have a non-cup holder armrest on my Christmas list!

thanks!

It's something of a lottery. I'd make a list of your 'nice to have' bits and determine what you'd pay in the US, then compare.

OEM stuff I get from the local dealership, aftermarket can be cheaper to ship here from the US rather than the UK.

I usually look for the parts I want on ebay ..www.ebay.co.uk as all the major breakers advertise on there or www.google.co.uk.You can then make up your mind.
