I've just acquired a (second-hand) Honda Civic, but it's not in 100% shape, and I'd like to get a few bits and bobs from a Breaker's Yard - particularly a better set of alloys, bits of trim and a front light assembly, as paying for new Honda spares is out of the question. I visited a couple of B. Yards over the weekend, but - nothing for my model.
As far as I can tell the Online world hasn't really made any inroads, into the Breakers business. But maybe I'm wrong. Anyone got a link to a site?
Thanks

And I strongly recommend www.silverlakeautoparts.co.uk/default.aspx (Near Southampton) and www.trents.co.uk/frames/index.html (in Poole, Dorset).
I would suggest the last two first, as they are truly huge concerns and highly professional. The former may come up gold, but may put you in touch with a Pikey with an 0900 telephone number and a desire to keep you on the phone for 10 minutes......

Don't know where you are, Chris, but I can heartily recommend Johnson's in Southport and Martindale's in Chorley. I have spent many a happy Sunday morning wandering round Martindale's just looking!

Thanks guys.
I live in Brighton, so the above site in Southampton looks promising. I've had a look round their website. Probably take a drive down next weekend.

Would be well worth ringing Silverlake first. They remove the majority of the parts for tuppence ha'penny and can hold it or mail it to you. They also have a full list of what bits they have for what cars. Very impressive bunch.

Try Sunbury Salvage in Sunbury just off the A316/M3 I think.

Just off the A244 before walton bridge. I have found them to be pretty poor on on stock in the past - not a big enough operation. That was some time ago (5 years) may have changed
