OK...so I just called plmini...
I just called PLMINI to enqire about interior parts. THey do NOT and WILL NOT be stocking parts for the new MINI. She asked me why would I buy a german car, so i told her the germans make the best cars in the world, and that this one held a dual nationality passport. The lady I spoke to did nothing but put the Cooper S down! She sounded like a scab.

She clearly has no clue!

You have to laugh at that really! I mean, they are running a business but they have a go at potential customers about their choice of car! For all she knew, you could have been interested in buying some bits for original minis as well. Honestly, some people!
the MINI has gone...

My sentiments exactly!

I'm now going to a breakers yard after work to rip one off an old mini.

Silly woman!

Good plan - if you find one, tell us if it fits
