Fenders, bumpers, mounts and other body parts in one place
Bodywork, mounts and accessories are not only elements that affect the aesthetics of a car, but also key components that ensure safety and driving comfort.

In the Global Parts automotive store we offer a wide range of used car parts for bodywork, mounts and accessories, perfectly matched to the brands BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and many others
What does the bodywork, mounts and accessories include?
