Updating this thread in case anyone else is searching for Land Rover spare parts in Turkey:
After a lot of back and forth I ended up ordering most of the spare parts from Kayalar Oto, who delivered them to me for free in Istanbul. They had 90% of what I needed, and the price was at least 25% cheaper than in the UK for a mix of OEM and pattern parts.
Rhino Overland make a variety of aftermarket rear crossmembers for Defenders and Series vehicles. I paid the equivalent of just £90 for a rear crossmember and they shipped it to Istanbul for free within a week. I also got a steering/sump protection plate from them. They also do front bumpers, including winch bumpers and models with integrated fog lights, but I want to see what I think of the crossmember quality before spending more there. So far they look like a promising outfit for picking up overlanding gear for Land Rovers in Turkey at considerably lower prices than the usual suspects in the West.
