    I asked my grandpa where the best place to get car bits is.

    He replied

    "Allied".

    I think it's time for his yearly ear-syringing.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      Thought I'd start off with that statement.

      Anyway, looking at selling our car and looks like it's worthwhile buying a new bumper for the one that's dented (Missus had a prang a couple of years ago).

      Where do I go to look for such things? (Google isn't helping me in this)?

      Cheers all.
      There are websites where you can put in the part and colour you need and the scrap yards contact you. Most will send the part via courier. I once sourced a tailgate this way.
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        try a scrap yard - check yellow pages, theyll probably give it to you for £10, only problem is you usually have to take it off the scrap car yourself...


        failing that RSoles suggestion.

          At the risk of being helpful, I've used this a couple of times:

          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
