Pictures of Japanese Mini's (Link below)
Many of the older Mini's still have their UK numberplates fitted while many of the newer ones have some interesting and unique mods...........air con does not leave much room under the bonnet though!

yes it does have air con, but as its only a 998 with emmision controls and cat i don't use it (i just wind the windows down)
it came with following additions:-
air con
mini lights
spax adjustables
hilo's
centre exit exhaust
wide group 2 arches and trim
cobra classic buckets with a cobra snake sown in
rookee style 3 clock dash
motalita steering wheel
mk2 rear lights
mk1 bootlid handle
clubman rear bumpers to the front and rear
sump guard
and last but by no means least NO RUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the bits listed where fitted in Japan.

They have a UK office - Turtle Trading, Rockiffe Road, Bathwick, Bath BA2 6QW, or email this guy who I think deals with the UK side of things, [email protected] but be prepared for some eye watering prices especially now that the value of the pound is falling off a cliff !!!!!!

Hope you can continue to keep it RUST free here..................add plenty of waxoyl!
I guess your Mini also came from Japan with the wing mirrors and the door wind deflector.................what about the roof rack?

These (see Link below) look like your Clubman rear bumpers on sale in Japan................but does anyone import/sell them at a reasonable price in the UK?
