Sorted through boxes of bits, looking for bits I can sell on here and ebay to make some money back.

Ive got hundreds of bits, but I know that people only like shiny bits on ebay rather then good 2nd hand spares...

I'd like some good 2nd hand spares! So if you're putting them on eBay, be sure to PM me the auction number, thanks.

Well I took my mini to my local tyre place and unfortunately they couldn't see to her today so they have booked her in for tomorrow morning so thats all good. Then when I gone home I phoned Minisport to order some door and rear quarter window seals and they didn't have them so I then phoned Hythe Performance and ordered and they should be here by tomorrow!!!!

Took Molly to my local tyre place with what I thought was a slow puncture but I was wrong. They had to re seal my tyre again and they said my alloy is corroding and I need to get them refurbed so then took her to someone local that does alloy wheel refurbishment and he said he would charge £60 a wheel just to sand them and paint them!! so now look round to see who else to could them and for what price!!
