mini spares at padstow x 2

They are nice guys who like a chat. And prices are pretty good. They always seem to have plenty of panels in stock aswell.

Most mini shops are OK and the people are always friendly, especially if you are about to spend money. :)
I usually buy panels and parts from MiniKing or Karcraft.
Try to buy Heritage parts as I think they fit better?

Heritage MG at Smithfield are good for panels too.
For Clubman guards and front panels, ring everybody until you find some. They are sometimes hard to get.

They only have 1 fold, and are pretty flat, with 1 vent only.
Not hard to make really. Find a sheet metal shop.
