How do I check if a spare part fits my vehicle?
Ensuring the correct fit is vital for the safety and value of your classic car. Especially with vintage models, technical changes often occurred within the same production year. To ensure a part fits, we recommend the following steps:
Have your vehicle registration document or the VIN plate on the vehicle ready. Key details include:
- Make, model, and year of manufacture
- Engine details (displacement and power output)
- Chassis Number (VIN): This is often crucial for classics, as parts may vary based on "up to chassis number" or "from chassis number" specifications.
Every component has a unique manufacturer part number. Look for this number on your old part or in the technical documentation. If this OEM number matches the one in our product description, the part is guaranteed to fit.
Check the fitment lists provided in our product descriptions. If you are unsure – especially with rare Porsche, Mercedes, or VW models – please contact us before purchasing. We are happy to help you identify the correct part.
Pro Tip: For visual parts (e.g., lights or switches), always compare the product photos in our shop with your original part.
Shipping & Delivery Times
We want your spare parts to reach you as quickly and safely as possible. Please note the following details regarding our shipping process:
Each item has its own delivery timeframe (in working days, Mon–Fri), displayed on the product page. This includes order processing and transit time.
To protect the environment, we consolidate multiple items into a **single shipment**. The **longest delivery time** among the items in your cart will apply to the entire order.
Example: If you order one part with a 3-day lead time and another with 7 days, the entire order will ship in approx. 7 days.
- Less packaging waste
- Reduced CO2 emissions due to fewer delivery trips
- Convenience of receiving all parts at once
As soon as your package leaves our warehouse, you will receive an automatic email with a tracking link to follow your shipment live.
