MINISHOW will have Traders selling Mini accessories.

Not sure if they will have what you are after.

just one quick question

ermm...where can i get mini STAINLESS wiper and blades from?...are these SHORT mini wipers a special mini wiper or will i be able to get them from any auto shop???

same goes for the indicators covers - i want these but in ORANGE
http://i24.ebayimg.com/01/i/01/d3/80/bf_2.JPG - again is this a special mini only cover or could i get them from any auto shop?

i know for sure that the door scoops and chrome handles are pretty "specialised" so theres no way to get them in aus unless u import them - i was hoping i dont need to import the wipers/signal covers.

Originally your indicator covers should be amber - someone must have fitted clear ones!

But, as usual for BMC/Leyland/Rover, the front indicators are from the parts bin. :)

They are the same as a current model Landrover Defender or Extreme. (Old shape body). Try a Landrover dealer or wrecker.

The occasionally pop up on eBay too. 8)

Ryan are you talking about the side repeaters you want in orange? or the front indicator lenses.

I got S/S wipers and arms (LH park) from MiniSpares UK. But I had to bend them a bit to fit the late Oz wiper box positions.

Wiper blades are all generic. You can get the special mini ones with the metal rail on them or you can just reuse the esisting rail, take out the blade (there's a spade shaped clip on the end to unlock) and replace it with the most expensive blades from any parts shop.

Hey but you probably ment the metal blade so my first five lines are irrelevant. Try MiniJohn, but email him and mention the miniclassic.co.uk forum - he often gives discounts to buyers from these forums.

For indicator covers try ebay UK - Amber unlike clear are plentiful and very cheap - just make sure its glass and not the crappy screw in plastic type.

Ryan23 - this looks very familiar!

Why are you buying bits for a car that you are trying to sell? :?

I want my red cobras with white piping and rails too.. but have had a quote, they want to charge me about a grand for the pair and they just arent that expensive...

How about we make our own Ausmini consortium and get our own containerload of stuff sent over!?

[edit/ poeee]

hay guys,
I just ordered an engine from one of the suppliers in england.

The total for the engine was $2,300,
but it had been fully rebuilt and only done 1200 miles since, race head also.
They nabed me for the freight at $400. Waiting for an email telling me why
so steep.

I've found that if u can wait for the parts than order from england
But we all know that some times we cant wait.
