I don't know about anybody else's experience, but my Alpine is the least 
expensive car I've ever had to maintain (as long as you discount the 
value of your time to zero).  Compared to some of my past cars (a series 
of Lancia Betas, a 73 International Scout II, a 71 Ford Bronco, a couple 
of Audi 90 quattros, a VW 73 Bug and 81 Jetta) the Alpine parts are 
relatively inexpensive.
I think probably becuase the Alpine community is generally 
extortion-free.  So to ask for free parts seems out-of-line in this 
context.
Anyway, I don't have any spare parts, good luck! Siegfried
