oops, I will have to consult my dictionary for a few of them as I'm not very familiar with technical terms...
Rear Bumper - hintere Stoßstange
Front Bumper - vordere Stoßstange
Front Spliter - I believe thats splitter with double t?
Its a bit difficult as I don't find an explicit translation for it. The one I have is Verteiler but thats a part in the cars engine where you don't have a front and/or a rear one.... it would actually be what you call the "distributor"
Rear Headlights - Rücklichter
Side Repeaters - if thats trafficators/indicators then its -> seitliche Blinker or Seitenblinker
Hope that helps.... |

used one. do you think it makes sense to have such big items delivered to the UK? Is it worth it?
They cut a piece out so that the "double" exhaust fits.
again no info about shipping abroad
new ones. looks like he ships abroad, but no price for that given |

Talk about raining on my parade. I got all excited there 
I am going to find about 50 items and bookmark the links onto a usb storage device. I will then get a german teacher to go through them and see.
Thanks again |

why? Because you didn't think of the delivery problem?
You can always ask the seller if they ship abroad. As long as you pay, most of them will do it. A small parcel, like the lights for example should not be very expensive.
you can check here for prices http://www.dhl.de/dhl?skin=hi&check=yes&lang=de_EN&xmlFile=900088

good idea, I'm afraid 50 would be at bit to much to do that here via the forum

Thats what I meant. Wouldn't it be cheaper in the end to buy them in the UK?
I know the problem, I know a car-dealer here who specialises in british cars and he buys lots of stuff from ebay UK, engines , whole cars etc. He then goes over from time to time with a big truck to bring the cars here... |

yes, ok, but if you buy them from a dealer in the UK he will have had lesser costs for the shipping as he probably imports a lot of them and therefore can cut down the shipping costs.
I think some serious price comparison is required here. Let alone the risk that is always involved when trading on ebay... |
