How can I find out who my local dealer use?

Do something really naughty like phone your service department up
and say that you have or are booking in for some body work, but want to make sure
that your precious car is going to a reputable local firm.

They just might let spill who they contract out to??.. Worth a try.

Even better Melons! An insider! Now you know for a fact that you won't be told porkies, but make sure he don't get into trouble, as he would basically be doing BM out of money
by you going straight to the body shop and cutting out the 'middle man'.

Let us know how you get on, would be intrested to find out.

I have notice that where the side skirts finish at the back / bottom of the front wheel arch the black has nearly all come off and it is showing blue underneath. Also the bottom of the aerokit front bumper to the side (black wheelarch part again) is showing blue through the black. I will be taking this up with Mini when my goes in for servicing in a couple of weeks. Mine has been fitted for less than a year and about 10K. The sunroof has started sticking too and I got left for dead by a Clio 182. Time for a new car?????????????????????
