Flo,

I sent a separate response to Christoph on this same subject. I am curious
where you got the pricing information. He is saying Euro699.72. Is the
difference the tax? If so, isn't that only if you will use the part in the
EU?

Second question. According to Rennie Wible (Santa Monica VW?), you can only
order Syncro 16" parts from your VW dealers in the US if you provide the VIN
from a real 16" and matching proof of registration in the US. I wonder if
these parts will be available from VW or just the aftermarket suppliers?
