Car Parts

Hi All

I have a Fiat Punto on 52 plate and need the following parts replacing:

Set of 4 wheel trims
Rear brake light cover
Internal panel which fits over wing mirror handle

Sorry these probably are not the "correct" names. I need to replace ASAP as I want to put the car in on part-ex for a newer car. Can anyone advise cheap but reliable website for parts please?

Thanks :j

    Try your local scrapyards.

    Also call your local Fiat dealer and find out what the parts would cost new. If nothing else it will give you an idea of what's a bargain elsewhere.

    as above, or ebay try and find someone breaking one on ebay might save a few £££ on postage if you can get from one seller. I doubt you will find a breaker listing the parts as off the shelf due to the turn around of most parts
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    i doubt these parts will increase the trade in value of your punto, it will probably go straight to auction.

    They're all very minor cosmetic things - shouldn't cost much. Try somewhere like wilkinsons for wheel trims, unless you want fiat ones.
