How far along are you? Is it a concept or prototype? Are you doing for numbers to complete a business plan or build a product? If you are serious, two of the biggest suppliers that I can think of are Bosch and Magna. They both offer pretty diverse products and combine to supply nearly every automaker. You might want to try them.

Thats a good idea for things that are cheap and simple, but if its something as complex as a car take the cheque. Unless you have hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the tooling to build it, or to defend it in court, your patent would be useless.
