I have a very negative opinion of Mini Sport UK (www.minisport.com/) and have probably thrown out every component sourced from them. There's a reason they are cheap.
I would check a list if I could still find the orders. Unfortunately it seems that many of their components other from being poor quality are actually unsafe. The latest one I have experienced is the failure of the reservoir seals in the GRK1035 kit after only two years of use. To me this can only be due to low quality parts. I have had issues with other safety critical parts too such as the ball joints.
As an example of how useless they are, they expected me to pay for delivery of a replacement flare since they sent the wrong one to me. 100% their fault but I was expected to pay. Minispares have never expected me to pay when they've had to send replacements.
Although it seems there are few suppliers of quality components for minis (or any car), it seems that Mini Sport supply the lowest grade parts possible.
They also take months to send out orders even if they claim to be in stock at the time of ordering.
Here is their response in regards to the flare issue.

The orders were all done in 2019 and I now see they have increased the stupid 24 hours to 10 days which is still not good enough.
