Is it usually so difficult to get parts?

[Max Normal]

Hi all, new to transporters but got myself a T6 startline as a base for a custom build. But absolutely everywhere I look is out of stock for parts I need (bumpers, spoilers etc). Just wondering if this is normal. Have they stopped making upgrade parts for T6's, has the market suddenly gone haywire, or is it a seasonal thing do you think?

Do you mean aftermarket parts?

Cashflow, economy isn’t great, holding stock is expensive.

Yes aftermarket. Basically, new body styling. I'm after upgrading to a highline-style bodykit (grilles, bumper, spoiler, rear bumper, rear spoiler), and every dealer that I can find is out of stock, which is surprising considering how popular these vans are for self-builds. I'm guessing that OEM parts would be pricey.

Not complaining, I just wondered if this was a seasonal thing or if T6 styling just wasn't being produced much anymore - seems to be plenty of T6.1 stuff out there.
