And it may be our common problem that the prices are rather expensive
than those in Europe :(  Benno-san, how do you think of Pug's parts
prices in Indonesia?

On our another list, 405jp (in Japanese), several posts are going on
about direct "parallel import" of maintainance-parts from Europe.
You don't think it exciting though, but five or six of us have
imported such ordinary parts - such as brake discs/pads, center pipe,
steering rod, power-window regulator - with cheaper prices than
we can buy here :)

Hmmm, but I don't mind, for we can buy parts from Europe like above.
