I need to find another door sill for a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S. I have searched on google and contacted multiple vendors and no one is able to help me.

Does anyone know where I can find another door sill, in the same style as the one in the picture? If so, please provide me with a link as I am not familiar with mini parts.

Thank you to anyone that is able to help me out!

Thanks for the response. I checked with those places and none were able to help me. They primarily deal with used parts and do not carry the door sills.

Does anyone know of a giant parts distributor? I know of a few GM and Ford places that are very easy to find parts online.

I am having a very difficult time sourcing mini parts though.

Spot on!
You could also try MINI Uk too, they list the sill kick strips, although it doesnt show the exact pattern you require, but I see you can now get illuminated ones too :) so you can see how dirty your shoes are as you get in, whatever will they think if next???

That looks like a standard Cooper S door strip (number 3 below) so you can get it from your Mini dealer parts department. List price is around £25.

Thanks everyone!

Angib, what was the part number for the third one? I tried to browse it on realoem but couldn't find it.

Never mind, I found a website in the states that sells them. I am not allowed to post links yet but go to MiniOfSouthAtlanta (dotcom) And look it up as follows:


Categories: Body and Trim > Interior equipment, lower
Cover, entrance

Thanks again everyone!

You can get a better price elsewhere.

Look up the part number on RealOEM ...
RealOEM - R55 Cooper S Entrance Cover (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=MM33&mospid=50627&btnr=51_6292&hg=51&fg=55)
Then price the part at both the following places ...
