Comprehensive body and mounting equipment

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.
  1. Car antennas – They are responsible for receiving radio signals, as well as the operation of GPS and GSM systems in modern vehicles.
  2. Emblems and decorations – Details that emphasize the make, model and unique character of the vehicle.
  3. Grills and radiator grilles – They perform a protective and aesthetic function, improving air flow to the radiator.
  4. Locks and bolts – They are responsible for the proper closing of the doors, trunk lid and hood, increasing the vehicle’s safety.
  5. Door sill trims – They protect the sills against mechanical damage and give the car a stylish look.
  6. Protective and decorative strips – They protect the bodywork against damage and also emphasize the body lines.
  7. Parts for front and rear glass and windows – These include window lift mechanisms, seals and other elements that improve the functionality of car windows.
  8. Half covers and covers – Body protection against dirt, scratches and weather conditions.
  9. License plates and frames – They hold the license plate in place and protect it from damage.

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.

  2. Verify the year of production and model version (e.g. before and after facelift).
  3. Specify the body material – e.g. the BMW E60 body can be available in aluminum and steel versions depending on the component.
