 The folks are off to Germany for a month and I was interested in having them
 bring something back for the 90 MV that would either be cheaper there or
 hard to get here, i.e., unique.  However, I am not sure where in Germany
 many items could be found.  They will be mostly in Southern Germany between
 Bavaria and Black Forest region.  Two primary constraints:  it has to be of
 a reasonable size to ship over here as baggage and of course, cost.  Any
 ideas from anyone?

 Much appreciated.  Gregg >>

Not sure what to suggest.  You really need to know what you are looking for
and where to buy it before you go.

Most any accessory will be cheaper over there as most US importers put a high
price on the stuff they import.  I don't do this myself.  I add the shipping
costs, but don't inflate the prices.

If  you were looking for wheels, or body kits like from Projektzwo, this
stuff would be a lot cheaper over there, but impossible to carry back on a
plane.

You may send them to a VW dealer with a list of European only small parts.  A
European name badge like "Transporter" or "Caravelle" would be cool.  Keep in
mind that there is a 17% tax added on top.

Paulchen bike racks, roof racks, camping accessories, Projektzwo accessories,
swivel seat adapters, are just a few items that you can find over there.
