What would you buy?

If you were in Germany, and didn't have to pay for shipping to the U.S. (or other parts of the world) and had the ability to buy goods with a 16% VAT discount...what parts and/or accesories would you be likely to purchase for your G?

Here's what I think I'll start with:

SPARES: Water Pump, Timing Chain, Clutch Master and Slave Cylinders, Thermostat, Wheel Bearings, Fan Belt, Valve Cover Gasket.

DOO-DADS: ALUTEC MB Vantastic Wheels (6.5x16H2)
ARB Roof Rack (Extrem Motorsport?), Fender Flares (ORC or MB).

What else would you want from the Motherland?

Thanks, Shawn

Now the other question is do you also get a diplomatic, expat or even tourist discount from MB. Then I would be looking for a nice brand new G55 Cabriolet..... hey you didn't specify a price. [:D]

But seriously, if it is for your 1980 240, how about some replacement body panels as I'm sure you will have rust spots...

With the way the dollar/Euro is, all of this would be cheaper in the US. I just imported a new G500 Cab from Germany and what would have been 80k( basically same price as G500) here was 100k there without the tax. Not a good time to buy in Europe.
Yes, still waiting for pics on this....
