Question UK supplier for AFE intakes

I have been looking at purchasing the AFE intake to finish off my DIY install for my 4.6.....I have emailed a few dealers in the US, some will not send to the UK/N.Ireland, and some are charging $150++++ for shipping which I thought was quite expensive, was even quoted $220!!!! I cant understand this, as last year I purchased a set of 19inch wheels for an M3 from the US and was only charged $475 for delivery so when you compare the weight difference, the delivey charge for the AFE intake doesnt stack up. So anyway I was just wondering is there any UK guys on here that know of a UK based company that sell the intake?

Any idea what it would cost to ship to you
from the states if you did it yourself?
Like if you bought it, shipped it to me and I shipped it to you?
I don't see it in the UK either.

I havent got a clue? I can pick the AFE up for around $275/$300 before shipping. But when it comes to the dealers working out shipping cost, it's around half the price and in some cases more on top of the AFE. Leaving the cost of the AFE around $460 to $500 +++! I also just got an email back from AFE themselves who have told me they DONT have a UK supplier so I'm stuck on this one. Going by AFE's website the shipping weight is 13 pounds, box dimensions 19 X 9 X 11"
