Cheaper parts for the car

Does anyone know of somewhere cheaper than Halfords to purchase "small" bits-and-pieces for the car? For example, bulbs etc.

I am usre I have heard of people buying from 'trade' but I don't know how to do this.

Got a couple of things to fix on the car and I am sure I can get them cheaper than at Halfrords!!!

    I always use my local motor factors, he's been going for as long as i can remember, the staff know what they are talking about and if they don't have a part in stock can usually get it same day or next day unless it's something obscure. They are always cheaper than halfords e.g. number plate for a motor bike - £7 in motor factors V £16 in halfords.
