Default Need a rear door - any recommendations for breakers?

Hi all,

My wife had an unfortunate incident that resulted in the rear right side of the V50 getting visually rearranged so I need to find a 492 Savile Grey drivers side rear door for our V50. Sadly not a common colour and I'm struggling to find one.

Does anyone have any tips or know and good Volvo breakers yards? We've tried the usual spares services such as 247spares and Breakerlink which might have yielded a result but neither yard has yet to respond to a further query so hangs in the balance.

Thanks in advance.

Iain

Lakes Volvo breakers, Huddersfield Volvo Breakers or

These three have a good rep.

As far as I know and from reading other similar internet threads in the past you'd be lucky if the door arrived in A1 condition anyway.

It appears that very often you'll end up getting the replacement panel painted anyway.....

I'm prepared to have door painted. The main reason for looking for one the same colour is to remove the requirement to have the inside of the door painted. I may have found one that I can collect in person. I'll know next week but continue looking in the meantime. Thanks.
