    Parts Sources - New / Used

    What's the experience of UK non dealer parts suppliers and breakers.

    One of the guys here managed to get as set of Carbs in beautiful condition for a song on fleabay but not being a user nor having a paypal account it's not practical.

    Currently on the lookout for a right dash panel for a friend who had a heavy drop, a set of front pipes and a front mudgaurd for myself.

    Any suggestions?

    Ebay parts can be variable i have had some superb stuff off ebay from good users, and there is some pooh described as in brilliant nick by iffy users, paypal is definitely a help, unless they do bank transfer which is becoming more popular due too fees charged by ebay i reckon by the time they finish with the new system they will be taking 15% with paypal charges , new system says free liting read smalll print on listiongs starting at99p only the rest are the same, then cut from the final sale goes up too 10% up too max of £40 old was 8.75% up too £29.99 £30-£599 8.75% of the initial £29.99 and then 5.25% of the remaining balance of the final selling price
    then £600+ 8.75% up to £29.99 + 5.25% of the price between £30 and £599 + 1.5% of the remaining balance of the final selling price
