General FIAT parts suppliers

[Mr Berlusconi]

I see theres effectively only one parts supplier link on the site, does anyone have other links to buy parts from?

I know bits and pieces come up for sale on ebay, but not always what you want!

Cheers!

I'd be a bit worried needing parts for your 500 when it not that old.

Tried motor factors

 

[Mr Berlusconi]

LOL....not for parts per se...but accessories etc too!

I've only ever used shop4parts (2 x top mounts, bearings, hub) and they've been perfect. Very quick, very cheap, very friendly.

Depends how many miles and how hard you've driven them. I think I'm about a grand down in parts in the last year for bits I've worn out.

Don't forget that he and Rob use their vehicles differently to the majority of us with a fair few track days and to their credit they don't try to claim under warranty for parts that obviously get "tired" in the process.

just search eBay there are a lot of suppliers on there

alternatively post on here what you are looking for and someone will have bought it or know of a source

p.s. my 500 now has 14.5k miles and has only had the following replaced:

suspension springs/dampers (SPAX Kit ) free trial
wheels and tyres (upgrade to 17") £300
a low mileage service £120
a litre of oil since service £9

and i have done trackdays at

Haynes test track
Bedford eve
Snetterton day
Cadwell day
Donington Park eve

it depends how hard you are on your car, also Jason runs trackday tyres

In that 18 months she's done half a dozen full days at Bedford Autodrome on the GT circuit, a Castle Combe action day, a four day trip to Nurburgring where I demonstrated the mechanical sympathy of a mid 90's touring car driver and 27,000 fast miles.

 

[jnoiles]

Oh, and a normal service at 12k for £200.

I've ordrered som parts from partsworld uk, and I am very happy with their service. Ordered a Touch up paint stick (pasodoble red) and they sent the wrong part no. (an older version of the same colour without the clearcoat) I made them aware, and they said keep the one we sent, we will send you the right one free of charge.
