Sorry about this Maverick, I hate the "where did you get your.......posts" but here is another.

I am in darkest Africa and am busy amassing lots of expensive shiney bits to build my Mini and have to import most of it from mud island - where did you buy the bumpers and over riders? which ones are they as I worry about paying a bloody fortune, waiting for ages and ending up with crap.? AND where did you get the chrome surrounds for the doors?

Cheers

Ask away I don't mind. I got all my Chrome work from MiniSport including the cooper door trim. They are all chrome. I think the rear bump is stainless steel so it's a tad duller in comparison. Nothing highly noticeable. Good luck with your build! Do you have a thread yet?

Getting parts together and looking for a shell at the mo. Need to get a shed more stuff first, Maybe I should start a thread with pictures of all the bits. Gonna use your lovely car for some design inspiration. Thanks.

Fair enuf but its only a sticker! It's the same instruction also. No harm done. Just want it to blend into the overall look a bit more.

Still fully functioning lol.

Gave the engine bay and clean and lick of paint here and there today.



Think I may ditch the aluminium rocker cover for a more standard one with Morris badge. We shall see.

You have some exquisite tastes. The little touches and attention to detail are a real credit to you and your family.

Soooo I'm looking at rear mudflaps for SI.
I'd really love a pair of those retro BMC rosette ones but I can't find them anywhere.

While looking I came across these:


I like them but think they might be a bit much. Any opinions?
