Who supplies replica parts???
Who is the best supplier of parts for a 356 build? Rear lights, gauges, Indicators, handles etc etc.
I'm looking for good quality parts but not sure who supplies what and which quality, or are they all much of a muchness? I've browsed SMC and they have a good stock list etc but Is there a good UK supplier?
If anyone can point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it, my chassis is moving on but I want to start getting the parts ready for the body.
Cheers.

Re: Who supplies replica parts???
What exactly are you looking for? Why use replica parts? 'Original' or repro parts will fit also...

Re: Who supplies replica parts???
Thank you all for the replies.
I should have made the title clearer as I meant who will supply parts for replica cars opposed to who will provide replica parts.
My first purchases are the rear lights and Indicators as I believe I need them to be able to cut the holes in the body. I think SMC look to sell good quality items on those so that'll be the choice.
As it progresses I'll look at starting a build thread.

Eeehhh... What's the difference?
You can use replica parts (or original for that matter), because those parts can be used for replica cars.
What -in your opinion- is the difference between 'Parts for replica parts' and 'replica parts'?
