When you own a vehicle not officially imported to your location, you need to learn how to order with the corresponding part number. Unless you are willing to make these sort of compromises, you have no business owning a graymarket import. There are VW dealers with cooperative parts managers such as Rennie Wible at Santa monica VW. I've gotten non-parts from him several times before. Same can be said of our list vendors. You have to do some homework if you want to play with the big boys. ;-)
