Exterior Parts & Accessories
Bodywork, mounts and accessories: style, protection and functionality for your vehicle
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. From fenders and bumpers to mirrors and covers - each element has its own importance, protecting the vehicle from damage and improving its functionality. In the Global Parts automotive store we offer a wide range of used car parts for bodywork, mounts and accessories, perfectly matched to the brands BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and many others
What does the bodywork, mounts and accessories include?
Bodywork, mounts and accessories is a broad category that includes a variety of parts that affect the appearance and functionality of your vehicle. 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 correct closing of the doors, trunk lid and bonnet, increasing the safety of the vehicle.
- 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 emphasize the body line.
- Parts for front and rear glass and windows – They include window lifting mechanisms, seals and other elements that improve the functionality of car windows.
- Half covers and covers – Bodywork protection against dirt, scratches and weather conditions.
- License Plates and Frames – They keep the license plate in the right 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 flaps – Body elements that provide easy access to the vehicle interior and trunk.
- Longitudinal parts of the body frame and supports – They strengthen the vehicle structure and increase its rigidity.

Why is it worth taking care of the bodywork, mounts and accessories?

- 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 Global Parts we offer original used car parts , which provide excellent quality at an affordable price.
