Value vs. personal taste. That's where I'm stuck.

is the car for you or the person who's gonna buy it off you?
i agree with all the matching parts it's not a decision to be taken lightly
but you're going to be the one driving it etc etc

Hmm - I just looked at a price list from an Australian supplier and they are listed at less than $200 Aus dollars - given that the aus dollar only buys .75 of a US dollar you might find importing from Aus or Britain a better option.

There are number of Aust suppliers that carry practically a full range of mini spares both new and used.

Mike,

Can you send me the name/link to the Australian supplier?

Thanks!

Mark

There are a few major suppliers here in Australia - I am pretty sure that there is a sticky somwhere on here that lists them all.

If somebody could point me towards that link then it would save me a lot of typing.

I'm not a fan of BRG but it does look great on a Mini with a white roof.
