    Does anyone have any experience with these guys? They offer what they say are OEM parts at discounted prices. However, they are located in Hong Kong...makes me wonder.

    I am looking for some clear turn signals for my 355 and also found some at eurospares.com that are only 53 pounds each! That is only $104 US!! But..I do not know if they will ship to the US as the parts say "Not for US or Canada." Does anyone have any experience with these guys? At that price they would be half of anywhere else!

    Brock - a search would have revealed lots and lots of satisfied customers of Eurospares on this site

    As for the parts the reason they say not USA or Canada is they are not intended for US or Canadian spec cars eg different color turn signals

    OK ?

    I bought the clear front turn signals from them two weeks ago, got them in three days from Hong Kong. Good communications, fast shipping, no problems.

    Eurospares dont sell all genuine Ferrari parts. They sell quite a bit of counterfeit gear from places like China. For example there cam belts are not genuine. So if one snaps you have no come back. Were as a genuine Ferrari belt will have the 12 guarantee.
    There was supposed to be a case against them last year by Ferrari but then it all went quite.
    I have no axe to grind against them because i have used them in the past. Its just that "fore warned is fore armed" so they say;)

    That's a hard story to swallow. I have used them many times and have no complaints. Why would they sell fake belts when they are so cheap to start with and that's not where they make the profits.

    Hey dont swallow it then, no sweat of my nose.
    But you are wrong in the fact that they make no profit out of things such as belts. Of course they do its a business. But if you still dont believe they dont then thats ok as well. They must make there profits out of there replica 355 wheels then;)
    And if you were reading every thing i have said then you will also have read that i have used Eurospares my self. In fact for 5 years, and i have visited them on occasions being that i live in the UK. But it still stands that they do sell some counterfeit gear, swallow that or not. And note that i said they sold SOME items that are not Ferrari products not all.
    They also break exotics to part out as well. They are a good reliable source of parts be it real, second hand and fake.
