well look outside of your country and ship them to you.

Unless you can find another car that has the same..

Monroe gas-shocks are the way to go! 220 euro for front an rear and GREAT ride quiality!

Munroe, yuk - not a fan.

Take the front struts to a Bilstein or Koni dealer and they should be able to find the right diameter inserts, modify the legs and your done (check the articles section for more details....http://forum.n12turbo.com/viewtopic.php?t=4415)

I've never found their quality to be very good. A while ago a friend put them into a VK Comode and they lasted less than 6 months....I guess you get what you pay for.

Well, i also wouldn't recommened the oil-shocks. That are the standard after-markets for our Cherry. The gas-shocks are under my second N12 now for 10 years and they are still perfect and the ride is very good!
