Lenses are different. Angle up and to the left for UK, up and to the right
for USA.

Good point Jay, wonder if that's true?  I know its true for the headers,
different LHD vs. RHD.

 

I haven't decided for sure on the UK.  I will try Germany as well.

 

Right now I'm gauging interest to see what makes more sense to do.

Markus, 

 

I'm interested in a few parts for my '90 W124 300CE. Mainly euro lights, and
any AMG components. But I've heard that British headlights are different
than the regular euros in the beam spread because they drive on the wrong
side of the road.

I'm trying to gauge real interest in a possible "group buy", or really,
"group ship" of euro parts for our 126's. I personally am looking for a euro
gen2 rear bumper to replace one that was just damaged thanks to a distracted
driver who caused a 4 car

parts. I have found breakers in the UK with plenty of bumpers for example,
around $150-450 USD before shipping (depending on condition, the breaker,
etc). They all seem to not be interested in individual shipping, even when I
offered to pay whatever it was, to compare to the cost of buying what I need
new. Anyhow, then I figured if enough people were willing to actually buy
stuff, we might have enough to do a container and split the cost and make it
more affordable.

So...who is really interested? I know they have euro lights, bumpers,
wheels, etc at a minimum, possibly more.
