Unfortunately the Mini i bought recently has a dinged boot lid, so to save time and work i was thinking of just buying an new part, haven't decided on whether it will be original, fiber glass or carbon fiber yet but thats not the problem.
i was just wondering what the difference is between all the boot lids from Mk1 and later.
my car is a 1979 which on different places says its a different Mk of mini so its been confusing me...
as i want it quite smooth and wont be having the conventional number plate light the outside design doesn't matter, but is there any fitting differences?
cheers

1979 WILL BE A mk3 / 4 or 5

But they are all interchangable

As above, It's a Mk3, not a mk2.

Al lids are interchangeble- they're just different aesthetically

great that's perfect, thanks for the help! didn't want to end up getting the wrong thing, ill just have to puck the one with the least amount of work for what i want

[pdaykin]

The least work for you will be to get a mk3 onwards lid

Mk1's use a different light and number plate mounting system
