Hi Bignose (usually, when I say that, people TRY to beat me up)Welcome from the NE of England - for small stuff, you're better buying from the States - half price, and still gets here in 2-3 days, for body kit, cheaper buying from Germany, but, carefully check out shipping details..

Try Googling the following - Vaeth, Piecha, Wimmer, MKB, Alustar - that should keep you going for a while.

You can look around here and see if you can find anything

I have the Rieger kit, and I like it. The only negative issue with it is that it's a bit low in the front. Underground parking, ferries etc can be a problem...
It turns heads over here...

Here are some piturs from when we met another rieger on a meeting in germany http://tinyurl.com/ypn43e
