Comprehensive body and mounting equipment
Fenders, bumpers, brackets and other body parts in one place
Bodywork, mounts, and accessories are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also key components that ensure driving safety and comfort. From fenders and bumpers to mirrors and visors, each element plays a role, protecting the vehicle from damage and enhancing its functionality. At the Global Parts automotive store we offer a wide range of used car parts for bodywork, mounts and accessories, perfectly suited to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and many others.
Car body functions
The body is the basic structure of the vehicle, upon which all other components are mounted – from the drivetrain to the interior. In practice, the body serves as the "skeleton" of the car, responsible for both safety (absorbing energy during a collision) and aesthetic appeal. In the case of models like the BMW E60, an aluminum body reduced vehicle weight by as much as 50–70 kg compared to a steel body, translating into improved driving dynamics and lower fuel consumption.
What elements are included in the bodywork, mounts and accessories?
Bodywork, mounts, and accessories is a broad category that encompasses a variety of parts that impact the appearance and functionality of your vehicle. Some of the most important include:
- Spoilers and wings – They improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics, stability at higher speeds and give it a sporty look.
- Car antennas – They are responsible for receiving radio signals, as well as the operation of GPS and GSM systems in modern vehicles.
- Emblems and decorations – Details that emphasize the make, model and unique character of the vehicle.
- Grills and radiator grilles – They perform a protective and aesthetic function, improving air flow to the radiator.
- Locks and bolts – They are responsible for the proper closing of the doors, trunk lid and hood, increasing the vehicle’s safety.
- Door sill trims – They protect the sills against mechanical damage and give the car a stylish look.
- Protective and decorative strips – They protect the bodywork against damage and also emphasize the body lines.
- Parts for front and rear glass and windows – These include window lift mechanisms, seals and other elements that improve the functionality of car windows.
- Half covers and covers – Body protection against dirt, scratches and weather conditions.
- License plates and frames – They hold the license plate in place and protect it from damage.
- Bumpers and parts – They are responsible for protecting the bodywork during a collision and also influence the vehicle’s aerodynamics.
- Doors, trunk lids and tailgates – Body elements that provide easy access to the vehicle interior and trunk.
- Longitudinal parts of the body frame and brackets – They strengthen the vehicle structure and increase its rigidity.
- Safety devices and mud flaps – Bodywork protection against dirt and vehicle interior protection systems.
- Masks and parts – They are responsible for engine protection and access to the engine compartment.
- Horns – Warning elements ensuring road safety.
- Exterior mirrors and parts – They provide visibility and improve maneuver safety.
- Handles, mounts and mounting parts – Fasteners that hold the bodywork and accessories in place.
- Fenders, wheel arches and fuel filler caps – They protect the bodywork against dirt, water and mechanical damage.
- Sunroofs, convertible, panoramic and standard roofs – They improve cabin ventilation and give the vehicle an exclusive character.
- Spare wheel holders and covers – Protection and convenient attachment of the spare wheel.
- Pickup Truck Beds and Parts – Elements that increase the functionality of the cargo space in pickup trucks. Each of these elements must be made of materials resistant to external factors such as moisture, UV radiation and changing temperatures.
Body parts compatibility
When selecting body parts, compatibility with the specific vehicle model and year is crucial. For example, the body of the Audi A6 C6 (produced from 2004 to 2011) differs in dimensions and mounting points from its predecessor, the A6 C5, meaning parts are not interchangeable between generations. In the case of the BMW 5 Series E60 (2003 to 2010), body parts varied even within the 2007 facelift. Therefore, compatibility should always be based on the vehicle's VIN, which allows you to verify the exact body version.
Why is it worth taking care of the bodywork, mounts and accessories?
Regular maintenance and replacement of damaged or worn body parts, mounts, and accessories is key to maintaining the aesthetics and functionality of your vehicle. Neglected parts can lead to:
- Bodywork corrosion, which can reduce the durability of the vehicle.
- Damage to other components, e.g. mechanical, due to lack of protection.
- Decrease in the aesthetic and market value of the car. At the Global Parts store we offer original used car parts , which provide excellent quality at an affordable price.
Advantages of aluminum and steel bodywork – a comparison
| Body type | Advantages | Defects | Examples of models |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | lighter (up to 30% lighter than steel), corrosion-resistant, improves performance | more expensive to produce and repair | BMW E60, Audi A8 |
| Steel | cheaper, easier to repair and weld, durable | heavier, more susceptible to corrosion | Audi A6 C6, VW Passat B6 |
How to choose the right body parts, mounts and accessories?
When choosing body parts, mounts and accessories such as bumpers, fenders or mirrors, it is worth paying attention to several key aspects:
