Parts Supply.

New to this forum.........can some one please suggest a good spare parts supplier? I've busted the rear lamp lens on my 2012 c5 estate and .Citroen just quoted me £149.83 for it. I've searched the web and eBay and got nowhere

Sad to say - it isn't until a model has been superseded and is a few years old that parts begin to be made by other companies.   If you don't want to pay the "highwayman", your best bet will be to visit the breakers.   Maybe your light fitting will be the same as 2008 onwards vehicles.

Thanks John I thought as much........and all the breakers now seem to be online systems where multiple "breakers" will quote. So far not had one reply.......I've started to try abroad but that's not as simple as it sounds on the internet

Thanks yes drivers side your first link is the one not willing to pay £80 though!

If you end up having to pay £80 plus £10 delivery for a light you have not seen, it could be a bit of a gamble since it could have some damage (possibly on the rear locating lugs) or marks on it. If aftermarket ones do become available they do not necessarily fit that well - at least my experience of some tail lights for a C3 from eurocarparts which did not fit. New ones from Citroen were right and not any dearer plus they included the bulb holders. If you ask your dealer they sometimes will give a discount for parts if you are not in a hurry since they can get them at a lower price if you allow a couple of days or so.

 

For the right side wing rear light there are 2 different Citroen part nos. 6350FA and 6351LV - you need to check which one you need by using your VIN. From these people the cost of the 1st is £105 and the 2nd £125 http://www.citroencarparts.net/?s=6350FA
