Hi fellow mini owners!

Just bought a 57 plate mini one and wanted a few things because its fairly standard. I want to get the chrome bootlid and exhaust tip (exhaust tip in particular as the standard pee shooter is a bit pathetic lol)

Any sites or makes people recommend?

PS any mini owners going to the next sunday service?

Cheers

Dave

Hi there,

There are certain websites that are worth a look, including:

http://www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/

http://www.minisport.com/bmw-mini/

Enjoy the car. They're good fun, if a little slow, but I like mine biggrin

Not sure if you're interested but I've got a chrome boot handle that I swapped on my Cooper when I bought it. It's got quite a few fine scratches (previous owner wore a ring), which was the reason I bought a new one, but in retrospect they aren't really noticeable unless it's a sunny day, the car is clean and you're looking for them.

The new part was £60 or 70ish from MINI (includes an entire new handle, numberplate bulbs etc.) obviously I wouldn't expect that much because of the condition. I'll probably be at the next SS so I could bring it a long and you could decide if you wanted it or not.

Cheers mate i'm interested in that- i'll be at the ss too (If we're not swamped by people with 'slammed' golfs on porsche alloys laugh)

Like your mini btw- dnt see many all in red- evo are running one similar to yours in their fast fleet.

Btw just noticed you went from a corsa c to a mini like i've just done- you can't even begin to explain how much better the mini is lol

If you've got any pics of the chrome you can e-mail if you like: dparrott89@gmail.com
