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.
