a break-down of how much i can sell the stuff for would also help me so i know how much i can pay for it. i was thinking maybe CQ rear center euro plate holder? thoughts on that? other ideas? ideally, small, light, common in Europe and with good, quick, high resale value in the USA.

Not for me personally, but lots of people like badges for cars we don't get. They're small and light and in demand.

Clear turns for the v8 guys. (me) Also the badges was a good idea. You could get a lot and sell em quick.

Get some euro plate fillers for the e30 guys. They are thin, light, and easy to sell over here.

You might need to be a member to see that, but basically they are a black insert that goes between the rear tails where the licence plate is. You can get them for $49 plus shipping from some people over here (when theyre in stock) But id imagine that you would be able to find a couple for very cheap over the pond. Head lights would probably give you a bigger profit though. :)

+1 for badges. I'd be happy to pre-pay for a set of S2 or RS2 front and rear emblems.
