Location of window winders and door openers are different , possibly even the size and shape of the rover door cards compared to Australian ones .

The front cards are not very good for Aus Minis. But it is possible if the door pockets are removed the card could be modified to fit. You'll need to cpver up the old winder and opener holes as they will be in the wrong spot. You may even need to trim the size of the whole thing down.

The rear cards are a better story, they do fit. But there is a gap at the door pillar due to different shape Rover doors. I fixed that by making an aluminium strip for each side that fills the gap and covering it in black vinyl. Also doubles as a moethod of securing the the card better as mine didn't like to 'stay' and kept falling out until I put this in.
