Has anyone bought Mini rubbers from Rare Spares?

They sell a kit that contains every rubber seal you need for a Mini, which I want to buy, but I am wondering about the quality.

Also, has anyone bought Clark Rubber seals and found them good or just cheap crap?

Cheers.

thanks Craig, I sent them an email. There individual prices seem a little high, compared to Rare Spares.

FYI, the Rare Spares kit for a Clubman is $580 ish and contains all window / door / boot seals.

If that is all the rubbers, then that sounds fairly cheap!

I would want to have a good look at them before handing over any money though :wink:

Where are you? I have a local mini machanic who gets that stuff for me at the right price

Craig

Ps. Never found Rare Spares that cheap when I restored a old holden a couple of years ago.......ended up going elsewhere :?

Rare Spares actually supply some of the mini stores so I think they should be OK quality.

But, of course, always look before paying.

I did an EH several years ago. Rare spares have quality parts.. but usually for a price. Personally, I'd rahter pay for the quality. Nothing wrong with having a look and assessing for yourself, BUT have a look either way. Even if you don't buy, it will give you a good idea of what to expect

I get door and window rubbers etc from Grippy Rubber in Rydalmere. But they don't have the front Q/vent, and door outer window ones. Cheap prices though. :wink:
