Hi people,
I have had better days. The one body shop I chose to get the black trim on my car painted turned out to be crappy. Now I am stuck here trying to fix their mess. Among the things they ruined were the door sills. I called my MINI dealer to see if I can order replacements, and they said this was aftermarket. I want to get the original ones on there, and I don't know where to get those. Anyone know if a place I can get them? Thanks for any help.

Do you mean the silver parts with cooper/cooper S written on them... If so, BMW should do them... failing that, I think minispares/minimania do them

Yes I am looking for those metal things that say Cooper. My dealer seems to think they're only available aftermarket, but on another thread someone metioned the option of getting the originals from the dealer. So I am confused. The ones at minispares and minimania are not the originals, and I want the original ones.

Anyone have the part numbers?

Hi Bishtelli, Your dealer has given you the wrong info,I had my aero kit sills put on and the dealer put new sill protectors on.They bend if you try and take them off the original sills.I believe they cost about £20 for the pair.Maybe they said this because you didn't have your bits done at the dealer.Just a thought.

Would you happen to have the part numbers?
