I would illegally import a CSL and drive it when no one is looking. FFS, US customs continually fail to close down the trafficing of Columbia's finest into Miami....do they really give a fook about emissions of an 8 year old shitter? Really?

All in jest of course

Buy one in Uk, strip it down and import as spares, then no hassle, either rebuild or use spares and sell rest

Leave shell in uk

Default I'll be tempted to buy one to gut one...

The prices are seeming to come close to where I'll be able to buy one, strip it completely/part it out. Sell whatever i don't need make a profit, and convert the csl into a regular m3 to sell it once again. Just so i can be legit in the states. Stupid regs.

You guys may actually be onto something now it got me thinking, I'm planning on getting the interior plus the airbox. So i know all in all that would cost me around 15K after everything is said and done. Hmm have to think about this.

Ok so where can i find the cheapest csl mileage doesn't matter then.

i THINK THATS WHATS HAPPENED TO MINE !! FOOK CAPS

Cossack, I have front seats, and rears, I have retained the door cards though, was thinking of keeping in case of turning car back to stock, but I think my car is on a one way trip to a donor tbh, so I would probably sell. I can also pack and ship for you as Im in that line of biz. Will try and sort some pictures of seats etc., give me a few days as Im very busy at work at min.

No way will you need to spend $15k to get interior and airbox! Should be able to get it all sorted for far less than that.

Default Thank You guys,

The poster above DuncarR just made my day, if it pans out. Wish i could again have the real thing but this will be the best i can do. I really do hope to get every part down to the rear glass eventually. Just have to budget it out.

Talked to several friends importing one is still not an option . I love this forum already first week on and I've noticed a nice community comradeship from all the other posts I've seen. I'm glad to be part of it.

The CSL Headers and Cats has been one of my favorite mods. I'm envious off all you guys.

I have a rear screen somewhere (got a plastic one there now), could get it to Duncan to ship with the seats?
