4x4 Breakers

[TigerS6]

In particular, I'm after some Mitsubishi Pinin parts.
I've phoned around a dozen places so far, and all are missing the front end, which is what I need - Typical!
Any tips or leads? am trying to avoid main dealer prices - the bumper quote I've had so far is £330 unpainted, but I also need the crash bar and the metal bit under the lights and grille.

Have you tried Equicar?

yep, I got an automate email back saying they don't have the parts available
I've also tried douglass valley, mitsybitz, mazdaparts, thorntons, a14x4, dewsbury, dalcrue, japsofrochdale, jmauto's, j jones motor spares, a1 wokingham car spares, skan 4x4, hillsmotorparts, charlton autoparts, autolink, Crightons.

I'm really gutted, as Crightons (dealer in Peterborough) have one which is the same colour, in lovely condition which they're breaking, but they've sold the front end, which is what I'm after

it's not looking good right now!

Heading off in a completely different direction, might it be cheaper to fit an aftermarket winch bumper or something similar?

Alternatively, would it be cheaper to buy one on Ebay, remove panels, doors, trim and a few other bits and pieces and then sell what you don't need back on there, and scrap the rest?

I don't know of any aftermarket kit for the Pinin?

I have thought about, and am still thinking about buying one off fleaBag and stripping it myself, this is still an option, so I haven't ruled it out.

I assume they're the same as charlton auto parts?
It was crightons who gave me their number
No luck there either.
it's looking like I have to go down the 'new' route.

Have a chat with any Landrover owner, they always seem to break them or are broken.........
