German eBay. Non gen though and get ready to get your ringpiece lubed up for the price!

waw that expensive.
For that price you might as well get forged pistons for an extra £350. Got a stronger bottom end as well then.
I saw a set for 50 quid somewhere, but have misplaced the link. Think it was a german site.
it may have been £50 a piston! which is what rings are for gts etc from vw!
got some last week from ebay de £60 with shipping
