That isn't 'baby poop' yellow. Thats nugget gold. They are 12" factory wheels (probably hiding 8.4" discs) and those wheel nuts (that used to have a plastic wheel cover) confirm its a 1275 LS. |

OK, So we've had the word, and it aint pretty. Both wings bent and we need outer and inner panels for both wings plus some front pieces. Have put the word out in the WTB section. Being newbies not to sure where to go looking for parts. Any ideas whereabouts we could source front cut or shells in Melb area ? |

As a starter if you want new panels many of the Mini businesses have them. Some have online stores where you can check prices. See here - viewtopic.php?f=41&t=83593 |

Thanks Winabbey. Am onto the online stores and will be working our way through the contacts there. Not sure yet we can source new inner panels. Anyway, thanks. |

Check with Brian at Link Automotive in Mitcham. He has some NOS. Not sure what he has for Clubman panels but you may get lucky. Otherwise he always has shells he is cutting up. I'd also suggest having a chat to Adrian Read. Some of the things he does with crashed Minis is amazing! He has been learning about Minis since in nappies as his Dad is Len Read. http://www.arsmashrepairs.com.au/ HRS |

Pretty sure you an still get new panels from British Motor Heritage. If unable to source from Australia then could try UK Also try Karcraft in Sydney or Mini King online |

Quote: yet, gather from your sig that it's no longer stock You are correct. It's been pimped to the max and should help make all the other 1275LS's more valuable..
