Has anyone had any experience buying parts from these places??

Douglas Valley have 3 cars in the same as mine and i wouldnt mind buying wheels, new mirrors and a bunper off them.

What is the score in terms of buying from these places, do i need to go with my spanner etc or do they box them up and post them?

I realise i could phone and ask them but would be interested to hear of other experiences.

Most parts from DV are apparently very steep, so best to find the cost of new before calling them. Not had to deal with them personally.

in my experience with another car, they were not the cheapest, but service is good. They will remove and post to you. Personally id only use them for parts you need urgently. Im interested what they send you when you ask for an elise bumper!

Its not an Elise mate, its an Elan M1O0 and they couldnt help with the bumper.
Mirrors are £45 each.
