Thumbs Up Bitten by the bug!

Hi, my name's Mags and I have a problem. I've been bitten by the Alfa bug. I have driven jeeps for the last 12 years, and last week I got sense and bought myself an Alfa Romeo 156.

It's great fun. 8 years old, only 60k miles, needed a little doing up inside, but nothing that alot of TLC over the last 7 days could'nt put right.

I need a few pieces of advice though, I need to get a few bits. preferably second hand (scrap) rather than pay the garage prices just to finish it off. Are there any good car dismantlers, scrap yards, or places to get parts. Primarily I need 2 headlamps, previous owner put light 'brows' on mine, looks okay from afar, but whatever they did means that the plastic on the headlamps always looks misty (cloudy), cleans away then drys back on it again.

Also inside, need a few little bits.

Any ideas would be great.
