Where do you get car parts from?
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but when I'm buying a couple of wishbone for the tinted I generally go to a parts desk like
GSF, Europarts, or MPD. They all seem to have 25% off continuously now, but are still 50% more expensive than ebay. How do they survive? Is it like
a builders merchants and people like me are the only mugs paying full price, while garages are on a 50% discount?

I seem to be drawn to Autodoc every time I look for tintop parts, even service items for the kit car. I recently bought all round Bilstein brake pads
and discs for the princely sum of £131 delivered.
I like Autodoc because of the range of brands, however as with pretty much all online places their part picker is unpredictable at best. Always check
part numbers with the manufacturer.
I haven't bought car parts from a bricks and mortar place for a good few years, I'd actually say pre-Covid. The main issue I found even back
then is they would rarely have the parts in stock. I think only Halfords had the items in stock, but their stuff is shockingly bad.

Varies, but Autodoc and Ebay are my main, along with a few brand specailst that arent relevant to kits!
(Renaultpartsdirect, which are a main dealer but offer great prices on genuine Renault parts.)
I geeked a spread sheet when doing a major rebuild last year and the green ones were cheapest and largely on ebay and autodoc.
