G'Day,
Will our bits end up being made in China?

I was under the impression that rover no longer made any mini parts anyway after BMW "gave" the company away. Due to rover costing them so much money..

I think you would be very surprised to find out where a lot of the parts and accessories for minis already come from.

I now that some of them that are sold in the UK actually come from places like India and China already.

everything is made in China and India. It is just a question of how much markup the middlemen take.......
