This bloke will make any size or type of brake hose from Stainless braided hose and is often cheaper than a local motor factor.

Had a set off him, good service & price.
peugeotparts.co.uk had none of the parts!
We have progress though. The German Peugeot garage I contacted does have one of the rear mud splash guards still waiting for the delivery cost but the part price is acceptable at 18 euros - basically the correct price. Sort that one out then contact the other German Peugeot garage to get the other side.

Internet's marvellous for this kind of thing. I've been buying Yamaha bits from Poland, which is something I'd never have been able to do 20 years ago.

Breakers, easy to run a part search nationwide these day on the internet. That's what I do for our Scooby, unbelievable parts cost now and they used to be real cheap. Recently it was hit on a car park £400 for a plastic boot trim and over £700 for the rear screen for new parts with a heck of a wait or £150 for an entire boot painted the exact same colour! The car was written off my the insurer due to the replacement parts cost and labour in this instance so I got a 2k payout to do a 30 mile trip to collect the part and re-mot the thing
So these brake union brackets..................
Had shocking afternoon, spent 3 hours going to the closest breakers that had 106 and saxo's in with 4 stud wheels only to find out that the brackets on them even though the Peugeot data says 4 stud isn't the same as a GTI.
It's looking like this part is GTI specific now not just any 4 stud worse still it's not beyond possibility it changed after 1 year of production as the data base says there is a new number for then.
Kent - tried these part searches, the breakers aren't interested in such small things. The only way is old school breakers that have the car sitting there for you to take bits off.
So next up is try someone who personally who is breaking a GTI on Ebay. Tried the companies doing it and they only save the main items like headlights, body kit.
Failing that it's trying the French breaker route. Which is really odd as the car was made in England

Maybe you missed it but I posted a link to the 205 GTI drivers forum. http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/
Very helpful lot there, would never have got my MI16 conversion finished without their help. Not sure what model your car is but even if it's not a 205 they might be able to help. The members break cars all the time and they will also let people know if they spot a decent car in a breakers.
BTW, exactly what part are you after & for what car. I have a lot of 205 & 309 stuff here & might have something suitable.

It's worth a try, it's only going to take you a few minutes to register & post on ther forum. I've seen them helping out on other models in the pug family.
Success!
Well it should be
but until it all lands in my hands you never know.
Great folks in Germany are send over my rear inner wing mud splash guards. It would appear I will be getting the very last available new LH (N/S) rear mud splash guard for a 106 GTI in the world!!!!! There seems to be 3 RH (O/S) rear left in Europe so I can't take the that trophy as well.
The flexi to copper brake line union front brackets should be posted today from a Peugeot breaker (even though he is getting the parts off a Saxo VTS
). I have check the part numbers against the reg on the Saxo VTS and it is supposed to be the same part 
.
I did actually try these internet companies that listed the brake brackets in Europe/Russia, waste of time there are none new just like Peugeot told me at the beginning!

The rear mud splash guards turned up from Germany so all is good there and was cheaper than the con artist in the UK who first quoted me then couldn't get them.
Unfortunately the VTS brake brackets were incorrect even though it was supposed to have the same on!!!
Since then joined numerous forums trying to get them and it always ends in dead ends. So with this in mind time wise I have spent ridiculous hours trying to source the brackets with no luck. I think the best thing to do now is just manufacture them myself.
