aside from the anecdotes here, has anyone imported a car recently? The impression I got from the importer 3 years ago was that things have become A LOT stricter.

in other news, what seats does this guy have in this (importable) 300GD?

looks like more recent model 126 seats. also says wheels are stock original. All I've seen of this vintage are cloth seats, basic wheels.
