Car body parts, not human.

Hey guys,

Need to get a bonnet, bumper and front wing for a 2008 Corsa, really struggling at the moment, easily get the parts for the older models, but not the current one frown

I ideally want second hand parts, in silver as I am no good at respraying and being quite new to Derby, not really aware of any decent spray shops (any one know any decent ones around here? and rough costs?)

I am happy to travel around an hour, although a mate was trying to tell me about a really good website for parts (Foreign parts or something) but he cant remember the exact name - fail.

Any help would be great.

Cheers,
Josh

I would just suggest ebay really.. Most breakers seem to list on there anyway and if not, try one of those parts search engine websites and see if anything local comes up.

Plenty of breakers and yards that way. Maybe just try calling round places in the yellow pages.

Allvox, pye bridge, Alfreton?

If your struggling for the right colour I can sort that mate as I have my own bodyshop.

thanks for the recommendations guys.

I managed to get all the bits I needed locally, in the right colour too!

Only bit I can't get in silver is the bonnet..
Any idea what it would cost to spray a bonnet, if it already has the undercoat and I supply the paint?

Cheers,

About 60-80 quid with no guarantees for colour match to adjoining panels if ou just want the bonnet doing
