Where do you go for genuine parts; not the dealer network

[Grey_Area]

I've been looking at parts, and aside from the dealer network; there's not a huge amount available, in particular HDK for sports series; where do you all go to get your parts from.

Cheers.

Main dealer or try the independents for oem parts.

Main dealers seem to work on a curious pricing structure; I'll try V or Thorney; doesn't have to be new, just genuine parts in good condition.

Try Elias at Autofficina, he's been looking after my 599 for 10 years. Great guy. Gus

What does that mean, you dont like it

Its always woth keeping your eye on mclaren life classifieds, ebay etc if your after 2nd hand but you may wait a while if your specifically after a hdk. The underbody vanes are very cheap from Mclaren, its the spoiler that will r&pe your wallet.

Kinda, I'm not in love with the dealers presently.... I'd like to be won over; but thats in their domain not mine.

Anyway, moving on, when I looked on the Mclaren website, about September time, they had the equipment priced, and I thought I'd make enquiries as to the dealerships and their ideas of what it should cost, and there's a bit of difference no-ones willing to explain rationally.

So, looking for options outside of the usual, including McLaren life, Ebay, FB and the usual etc.
