aftermarket

The automotive aftermarket is the secondary parts market of the automotive industry, concerned with the manufacturing, remanufacturing, distribution, retailing, and installation of all vehicle parts, chemicals, equipment, and accessories, after the sale of the automobile by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to the consumer. The parts, accessories, etc. for sale may or may not be manufactured by the OEM.The aftermarket encompasses parts for replacement, collision, appearance, and performance. The aftermarket provides a wide variety of parts of varying qualities and prices for nearly all vehicle makes and models.
Consumers have the option of repairing their vehicles themselves (the "do-it-yourself" or "DIY" segment) or can take the vehicle to a professional repair facility (the "do-it-for me" or "DIFM" segment).
The aftermarket helps keep vehicles on the road by providing consumers the choice of where they want their vehicles serviced, maintained, or customized.

    MG4 front brake pads (aftermarket)

    Having read recent posts about the availability of (or lack of) MG4 brake pads, I see GSF car parts have these listed. I entered my reg for a Trophy ER and it shows these as being compatible. I assume the picture is a generic btw. Certainly a much better price than the £260 Brown & gammons want!

    Dashcams

    Has anyone had a dashcam fitted yet? Asked the Dealer but they don't have any details yet. Would it be the same as other MGs so Halfords could technically do it?
