I have fitted both types to a lot of of my minis. Camlo don't exist anymore as already stated. The derek's mini type are made so that they will fit round nose and clubman fronts. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to preserve their front end. IMO they are worth the £65 they ask for them.

Agreed, they are cheap compared to a new front end, scuttles, paint etc.

Care should be taken with the mounting screw/rivets etc as these can be there own source of rust point.

There a bit steep for what they are, or is it just me being tight?

Stop your mini rusting at the front end for the price of a night out ?? Yep I think you are!!! lol

They do appear expensive for formed sheets of plastic but it's all about prevension or cure. The prevension is cheaper than the cure.

They are only any good if you front end is mainly rust free to start with though - they arn't a miracle cure.

I got some Clubman camlo liners at a mini show in an auto jumble around 3 years ago (I think camlo had already gone bust then) £2.50 for each one, I nearly collapsed when I saw a set that cheap!! Probably the best/cheapest thing i've ever bought for my mini.

I cut them down a bit and fitted them to my mini, they seriously help the wing seams from rusting, HIGHLY recommended!!

[tadleysimon]

ive got them fitted to my clubman, there made for a roundnose so it had to cut them up ALOT! but worth it. ive also got a second fan in my inner wing so i had to cut round that too.

heres how the look fitted, oh and all the yellow goo is waxoil

Sorry to bump this up but it's something I've been thinking about.

Can I see some more photos from people?

Also now avaliable on Minispares - http://minispares.co...a...7262&title=

They are available from mini spares now too!! Click.

They are fairly simple to fit and I haven't found any issues with them being a dirt or moisture trap personally. They are so designed to deflect dirt & moisture away and having seen them up close & fitted them, I can't really see how that could happen. Even if your wings, scuttle & front panel etc are far from perfect, they will still stop water, salt & grit from being blasted up into the usual places, so they are far better than nothing at all. They also have the added bonus of protecting the waxoyl you have sprayed under there from being washed away, so fitting them to corroded panels is still worthwhile as it certainly slows down the rot.

My only criticism is that if you have to do a lot of modification to the nearside one, if you have later model that has the auxillary fan fitted in the nearside inner wing.

Im going to buy some of these, well worth it I think.

[scrumpymini]

On ebay item number 190500246382 sorry not sure how to do the link.

But £80 ! shame we cant do a group buy on them and get them cheaper.

[analogue_radio]

I think it's a definite winner from me..

Maybe we could get them cheaper, hmm, might be worth an email.

[the_r_sole]

with all the fitting adjustments needed etc could you not just get http://www.trailerpa...ds-single/MS13P for a tenner and cut it up!?
