Someone has carefully removed the two rear reflectors on my beloved '03 JCW Cooper (see photo). This is really annoying as it turns out they are very rare. Any suggestions as to where I can get some aftermarket (non BMW) ones. Am keen to avoid the horrors of BMW MINI's parts service.....

Try the man himself. (Or at least his secretary.) They should either have them or tell you where to get them. Hope this helps

Give the parts department a call, you might be pleasantly surprised. Most will give 10% off with a bit of haggling.

How about that!! Yes I bought it from Woolaston in 2007 - around April I guess. Found it via the Mini cherished site - even tho' Woolaston is a long way away from SW London. Love it to bits. But I need to give it more TLC including replacing trim etc. I bought it as it was really low mileage - still only 40k. Did you ever look into upgrading it at all? I'm desperate to give it a bit of a makeover but I don't really know what I'm doing....
It reamains probably the most fun drive I have ever owned - and I had an M3 convertible before!

How strange...Yeah I only used the car at weekends. I didnt really look into changing anything as it was always quick enough and looked petty smart.... Plus like yourself didnt have a clue where to start.

If you fancy a change then below is a link to my current one of which I am now selling.
