    I am looking for a boot lid for my daewoo kalos, it's not urgent but would like to replace it as it has a nasty dent -I think this would be the cheaper option than the €180 I was quoted at bodyshop, am I right?
    So I asked at 4 diff places this week when I was after another part for it & no joy..Do I just sit down with a list of convenient scrap yards & ring them once a week or what? Is there a website that does this kind of thing?
    Cheers,
    DCD

    Try partfinder.ie but to be honest you might not get one the same colour or in good nick and you could end up spending money in the body shop regardless.

    By the time you pay for the 2nd hand but and pay for it to be fitted it might just cost you nearly the same unless of course your fitting it yourself.


    Edit: Colm got their before me :)

    Ah right, won't be fitting it myself so will prob learn to love/live with the dent.

    search on ebay for daewoo kalos (parts,breaking) as well as daewoo kalos (tailgate,boot)

    plenty in UK if you've got a way to sort the shipping

    Here's one in Donegal

    Try Traynors up north. They can be decent enough for tricky parts and they deliver to certain collection points a few times a week.
    Their number is 048-38891242

    Worth a shot anyway.
