Hi all, I need a few parts for my mini, well more than a few and I'm just wondering if anyone has a view on minisport's service from down in SA. I will need to pay for shipping as I'm up in Queensland and I want to be getting new parts. Not to mention I'm in a bit of a rush to get it finished in a few months time which, as it stands, means a lot of work on it. Just wondering what everyone thought of them? What are your experiences with them? Cheers in advance.

Never used Minisports...Have you thought of trying Miniplus in Coldstream Vic. Same day delivery. And there prices are very good.

I've seen the site but one of the things I do need is a set of wheels and tires. I'd like to get them new aswell. I'd also like to keep it in the same country and it looks like there aren't many places that stock them.

I've used them a couple of times. No complaints, prompt service and goods arrive in good condition.
I think Karkraft have better prices though, also Mini King Online.

minisplus now located in Bayswater

Loads of suggestions and so far, only mini sport has the wheels I want. Hopefully I can find them elsewhere for a price comparison.

I agree here. Their delivery times are great, normally next day to NSW. Although I usually order through Karcraft as they are normally cheaper (but more effort to order with)

And what about aftermarket parts? From what I can see, karcraft are more for original parts.

What do you mean by after market? Other than the wheels, what sort of parts you chasing?

Interior although I'm not so bothered about that being brand new. If it is second hand, I'll get it reupholstered anyway. Some engine and brake components that aren't standard. Lights, trim, dash. Quite a few things.

I have bought floor pans from them and that was alright. I find their pricing to be up and down thats all. Have you trying someone a bit closer like Readspeed?

Yep, he's on the lookout for parts constantly for me. I've bought most of the car through him so far.

I have mainly done purchasing from minikingdom online or karcraft when buying in Oz.

when the price has been right. i have used mini sport a few times.
great service and very quick delivery.

Ive used minisport uk for a few bits latley. Even with the poor exchange rate its still cheaper and even quicker than minisport uk. (less than 5 working days for the past 3 orders)
