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?

Why is it worth taking care of the bodywork, mounts and accessories?

- Bodywork corrosion, which can reduce the durability of the vehicle.
- Damage to other components, e.g. mechanical, due to lack of protection.
- Decrease in the aesthetic and market value of the car. At Global Parts we offer original used car parts , which provide excellent quality at an affordable price.
How to choose the right body parts, mounts and accessories?

- Technical condition – Check that parts are free from cracks, scratches, corrosion or other damage.
- Material of construction – Choose components made of durable materials such as aluminum, steel or high-quality plastics.
Why choose used body parts, mounts and accessories?
Car parts second-hand is a solution that allows you to combine savings with quality. By choosing used mudguards or mounts, you gain:
- Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, and their quality still remains high.
- Ecology – By choosing used car parts , you support recycling and reduce the amount of automotive waste.
