Default Good parts suppliers

Hello, I was wondering where is a good place to source parts.

I'm specifically after the spoiler cap for my 2003 v40 I've also noticed it missing on a few other models similar to mine so was wondering if its a reoccurring issue for people.
I'm fairly sure I bumped it off on a huge speed bump.

I have tried ebay and found two sellers offering non original parts but each time the part never turned up annoyingly.

I've tried PFS but no luck, although it seems like a good supplier in general.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what you mean by 'spoiler cap', but have you tried Volvo? It is surprising what is still available.

When I've found the part online it's usually called something along the lines of 'front bumper middle spoiler cap' which is a bit of a mouthful, thanks I'll try Volvo

Ah, yes, they do go missing particularly if they are not clipped into place correctly. They were available from Volvo a few years ago at £11 each. Not sure if that is still the case.
