Did you know….. that Alfa 166 door mirrors are fitted to Maserati Quattroporte V8 Evo's. so they can be bought in an emergency from Maserati dealers countrywide. Make sure you don't tear the Maserati wrapping bag though - it just cost you an extra £203
Exterior door handles on a Ferrari Mondial are the same as on a S3/4 Alfa Spider ........... no doubt once again a huge cost difference
The headlamps on the Italian built MG SV-R are from a Mk II Fiat Punto
Alfa SZ headlights used on the Lancia Hyena
Morris Marina door handles on the Mk1 Land rover Discovery.....yuk
Oh, and the starter switch on Anakin Skywalker's 'Pod Racer' in Star Wars Episode 1, is a headlamp switch from a Mk1 Fiat Punto
I'm sad, I know.......before anyone points this out ;D

Yep Mastro rear lights fit early Discovery's ...Fact! ... I 've done it But ... beware in 1994 they changed style slightly, then in 1995 went back again for one year and...Disco one has 'Land Rover' badge stamped on bottom of lens ;D I could be here all day saying (from experiance) what inter changes on the electrical and trim side between: Austin/Morris/Triumph/Rover/BMC/BL/Leyland/MG/TR/Damilar/Jaguar/Land Rover/Reliant built between the 1950's to about 1980.

Yeah - Mondeo lights on Noble (or noble lights on mondeo?)
Plenty of stuff has got Ford parts such as the XJ220, where most of the interior switches are fiesta-sourced. Even the interior door handles are generic late 80's ford ones. TVR also use a lot of ford bits such as fester back lights, interior bits and bobs, although most of their locks seem to be Vauxhall sourced.
Sticking with the XJ220, the wing mirrors are the same as the Citroen CX. And the late Lotus Esprit. And the McLaren F1.
Scirocco back lights appear on the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Maestro and Golf gearboxes are interchangable.

When you realise that these so-called Supercars use parts, however well disguised, from mundane mainstream cars it somehow reduces their appeal somewhat. I remember seeing the same column switches from my old rusty Viva in a Scimitar, after I'd opened the door using a Marina door handle. Same goes for Ferrari, a lot of it comes from Fiat's parts bins. Mark 1 Polo dash switches in the early Porsche 944. It looks like a Mini/Marina/Allegro Lucas wiper motor in TVRs. The list is endless.

TVR Cerbera (?) Used VW Corrado wing-mirrors, and they are cheaper from TVR... (go figure) The Aston Martin Virage/Vanqusih Scirocco tail lights are upside down on the Aston. Lancia Stratos uses the same door handles as a Fiat X1/9. Door pins from Mk3 Polos are the same fitting, but much better design than those of Mk1/2 Golfs and Sciroccos and Pre-facelift Corrados. They aren't mushroom shaped, so you can't get a coat-hanger around them. Passat Mk4 Rear Handles are a fairly straight swap for Corrado door-handles, but easy way of de-locking them and are much harder wearing. Land Rover headlights are the same as Mini ones... Fiver

P.S Isn't the reason for poaching other cars lights because they are very expensive to get E-marked and the like ? (or more likely the americal equivilent)
