hi guys!

I have a black mini 30 1989, and when the previous owner fitted and painted 2 new front wings, he painted over the mini 30 stripes.

does anyone know where I can get some of these to put back on??

Also, is the mini 30 interior rare... I am looking at some cobra monacos and wondered if the old seats are worth anything??

cheers

the idiots!

yea you can still get them, i got mine in a pack with the decals too. As yours is the black version i believe yours are slightly diff colours or in reverse? someone correct me...

seats only came in the two 30 models so quite rare, and comfy too, well...mine are, anyway i think they dont fetch as much as a few years back but what does these days??

would be good to keep them as not many around but its up to you.

happy hunting

Id keep as much of the interior as possible as there hard to come by especially if you want to revert to standard at some point

Mini 30s are hard to come by as standard now adays especially the black ones as it is i was looking for one awhile ago everything that was about was modified which put me off

[mini_gurl84]

agreed. mines pretty much standard, and anything i have done can just be un screwed, anything ive changed ive kept the original bits.. but saying that its only silly things like the mirrors ive changed...

I always keep the items I remove from my mini, just in case, you never know if you might want to put it back to its original state!
