Parts needed

Postby CJ » Mon Feb 02, 2004 5:26 pm

Guys, I've spend the day ringing around in an attempt to source a set of secondhand lower suspension arms and a LHS front bumper reinforcement bracket without much luck. These are are the companies I've spoken to so far:

AA Carparts
N4 recovery
Charltons (UK)
U-save (UK)
WMS Tuning (UK)
Traynors
Jap Autospares
Brian Lively
3 other guys in Dublin

Some people had one wishbone but not the other (all seemed to be LHS)
and others could only supply new parts (€€€). If you know of anyone breaking a GR\GPX that has minor front end damage, give me a shout.

I rang Traynors back and it worked out that they have both wishbones, all I need now is a bumper bracket :roll:
