Parts?

[Stuart]

Chaps,

The wife has scuffed the panel just in front of the wheel arch and the plastic wheel arch on her Cooper S, grappling no doubt with the notoriously large dimensions of the Mini .

The paintwork can be magic repaired, but I need to try and source the plastic wheel arch, OEM if possible.

Anyone got any good ideas where I might get one? I've tried Google and Eurospares without much success, so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Stuart

I've emailed them about parts before and they've provided me with a competitive trade quote, which my local garage has usually begrudgingly matched.

A lot of the classic mini people do the new parts, mini sport, mini spares, mini-it's, Avonbar etc

derekwoodman bmw in blackpool deal with lots of mini people on other forums, I think its chris you want to speak to - usually does really decent prices.

Is it for an R53 or a 56? if its for a 56 can you let me know what you come up with? Mine has a similar scrape (although mine was done for me by someone else while the car was parked in the street - got to love london parking) - I should get it sorted but am a bit loathed as I just know someone will do it again......

Funnily enough, we bought it from Woodmans - they are great to deal with. I'll give them a shout.
