Zoran,
You can search German eBay (www.ebay.de) for WBX kolben. The new
DJ-code pistons/cylinders go for around 500 Euros. They're easy to
differentiate from 2.1L MV pistons as they have a much shallower dish.
Finding someone to ship them to you might be a bit tricky.
Oh, Chris Jordan was advertising a DJ-code engine for a friend here
just a few days ago. That might be a more cost-effective way.
Thanks,
Chris S.
