I looking to spend around $5k, including shipment to the UK to buy the above items, probably from Biff. I was thinking of doing this later in the year, but circumstances look like now may be a good time. I'm just trying to work out the total cost. Once the parts arrive here I am assuming that I will have to pay VAT at 17.5%, but also I assume that will be additional duty on top of this. Anyone know what my total cost is likely to be?

If memory serves me correctly I think you'll be looking at 10% import duty, plus 17.5%VAT on the total...

Edited to add: There was a guy on here a few weeks back selling a Mopar Spoiler, not sure if he still has it, but it seemed to be a good price.

At least one of those (VAT?) includes the shipping cost as well (as in you will be charged tax on the cost of the shipping and the value of the items you have bought).

He may still have it? (I think he put it on ebay for a while)

Thanks Guys,

Neil thanks for the info on shipping, Biff has already kindly included free shipping to the UK.

Biffs wing painted would cost around the same as the mopar wing that Dave is talking about, Biffs wing looks good to me, anyone think differently?

Dave anyway that you can verify the 10% number for duty that you mention?

There is a section on the UK Club site about personal imports, (that was written by Shoebag I think), which includes the information regarding import duty and taxes...

http://www.ukviperclub.co.uk/page21.html

That should give you a bit of an idea.
By the way... Who is Biff?
