Fenders, bumpers, mounts and other body parts in one place
Bodywork, mounts and accessories are not only elements that affect the aesthetics of a car, but also key components that ensure safety and driving comfort.

- Damage to other components, e.g. mechanical, due to lack of protection.
- Decrease in the aesthetic and market value of the car. At Global Parts we offer original used car parts , which provide excellent quality at an affordable price.

- Technical condition – Check that parts are free from cracks, scratches, corrosion or other damage.
- Material of construction – Choose components made of durable materials such as aluminum, steel or high-quality plastics.
Why choose used body parts, mounts and accessories?
Car parts second-hand is a solution that allows you to combine savings with quality. By choosing used mudguards or mounts, you gain:
- Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, and their quality still remains high.
- Ecology – By choosing used car parts , you support recycling and reduce the amount of automotive waste.
- Wide range – At Global Parts you will find parts for the most popular car brands, which makes it easier to find the right components.
How to take care of the bodywork, mounts and accessories?
To keep your vehicle's bodywork, mounts and accessories looking good and working well for years, it's worth remembering a few rules:
- Wash and maintain your bodywork regularly to prevent dirt and salt build-up that can cause corrosion.
- Check the condition of bumpers, fenders and mounts to ensure there is no mechanical damage.
