What is the car body responsible for?

The bodywork is the structure of the vehicle's body, constituting its skeleton and responsible for safety, aerodynamics and aesthetics.

What does aluminum body mean?

This body is made of aluminum instead of steel. It offers reduced weight, better corrosion resistance, and improved driving dynamics.

What is a VIN and why is it important when selecting body parts?

VIN is a unique vehicle identification number that allows body parts and mountings to be matched exactly to the car version.

Is the body of the BMW E60 different from the Audi A6 C6?

Yes, these are designs from different manufacturers, differing in materials, dimensions, and mounting arrangements. The Audi A6 C6's body is primarily made of steel, while the BMW E60 uses aluminum components.

What body parts are most frequently damaged?

The most vulnerable parts include bumpers, fenders, side mirrors and hoods.

Is it worth buying used body parts?

Yes, because they are cheaper and, when selected correctly (according to the VIN and model), they ensure full compatibility and functionality.

How do I check the compatibility of a fender or bumper with my car?

It is best to use the VIN number and the manufacturer's catalog, and compare the mounting points and dimensions of the parts.

Bodywork, mounts and accessories

At Global Parts, we offer a wide selection of original used car parts, including bodywork, mounting hardware, and other accessories for many popular car brands such as BMW, Mini, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, and others.

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.

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.
