Can anybody point me to any (new) Mini spares specialists other than BMW across the UK
I've got a nice base model R53 Cooper S to work from. It needs a mild refurb.
Example I'd like to replace the interior. Refresh other parts a little. Get rid of the Milltek exhaust and replace with genuine stock parts so I keep the car in as near to original as I can

I realise in some instance I will replace with genuine BMW Mini parts but I'm looking for recommendations of alternative suppliers

I used BMS Direct via Fleabay to source a new high pressure fuel pump for my R56 last year - they were considerably better value than a Mini dealer. Alternatively Cotswold BMW have a very good reputation via the Minitorque forum and have a good following for OEM parts

Mini Matt is very good - he's dismantles Minis, so has a good range of used spares.
