14 Where can I get DISCOUNT and PERFORMANCE parts?
A: Many of these retailers sell the same OEM parts VW uses anywhere from
10% to 60% less. (See above for the OEM brand names).
Always check carefully the brand before buying
because some substitutes may be offered by other manufacturers
but with lower quality. It's best to stick with OEM or
better/performance brands.
NOTE: The contents of this list now also includes references of shops
that do more than just sell OEM parts.
I also included retailers that sell performance parts made by some of the
"tuners" and performance manufacturers.
To be added to this list, you must be an established bonafide
business or mail order house. Brief user feedback as posted publically
may also be added.

Profile:
It's a regular dealership that is now specializing more in parts
distribution, and has a casual relationship with some of the
performance shops like APS. They also deal with the magazines,
lending out test cars.
Some of the people that work there such as Mike Potter (parts)
auto-x their VWs (Scirocco for Mike) and are therefore more
"knowledgeable" than the average place.
Don't bother Mike too much because he is very buzy.
