First post and just joined the forum to ask this:
Where do you buy your parts?
I have searched and searched all over the web and with all the different suppliers out there I'm really unsure on where to order. In my eyes it seems like several are selling the same items but also some make their own retrofit parts from scratch. Is there any one with experience on quality on retro made parts - is all of these Chinese crap which is worse than the original? By that I mean, is it worth re-cromeing the fenders if the new stuff is not worth buying?
Similar to interior and new seats upholstery - is all the same or is there some which is better than other and more true to original colours and so forth?
Crome trimmings, rubber seals etc ?
Just in case some of these sites are not known - here is a few I have looked at:

http://www.cvi-automotive.se/en/
http://www.vp-autoparts.com/main.aspx
http://www.scantrade.ch/katalog.html
http://www.kgtrimning.org
https://www.oldieglanz.de/Volvo-Amazon/
https://www.bastuck.de/gb/classic/volvo/
https://www.ersatzteile-wug.de/en/
I'm sure there is some local UK dealers as well but are they simply buying from some one in the list as a reseller or do they make for instance their own seat covers/upholstery ?
We have some local ones which seems to just order from some of the listed ones with a large markup which would cost me a lot when I need quite a bit of new stuff...
Any comments would be highly appreciated.
