OEM / Aftermarket shop?

Hi everyone,

I knew I had an account here.. that I will start to use a lot more! 11 years - oh my, time flies...

Anyway.. with depreciation and a furious need to own an 8-cylinders car while they still exists, I'm looking into second hand AMG GTS. While the available options in my country is not too bad, there's a few things I would like to add or change here and there, depending of the configuration on hands.

And this is where I would like to refer to your knowledge... I'm looking for an equivalent of Suncoastparts, for those who knows. I have ordered a few things there, from $1 plastic caps to the alcantara wheel (mmmhh )... All OEM parts, this is the thing. Not really looking for cheap Ebay stuff, that would be a disgrace . Would you have some tips?
This would be anything from the steering wheel, to the interior trim pieces, strut or lug bolts, just to name a few things... Would something like this exists as far as you know?

I could also ask the local dealers here, but with my past experience (and even more with Porsche), it's very tempting for them to triple the price of replacement parts, just because they can. At this point, I'd rather go straight for Brabus...

Any help or direction would be very, very helpful!!
And of course, once done, I will happily share all the news

Depends on what you’re looking to buy. Different dealers for different items

Thanks for the replies! A few good things here and there but sadly not as complete I thought this would be even more common...
