A favour to ask... - MINI2

I know this is a long shot but i was just wondering if anyone travels from surrey through Dorset on a regular basis and would be willing to pick up a bumper for me. I would be willing to give a contribution to petrol money..if not i might be stuck paying the high fee that has been set for delivery. Thanks for looking.

have you tried to get parcel force to deliver ijust sold a raleigh chopper on the same site and the delivery cost was only £28 if you try parcelforce and get a good price it might be worth doing that. if you do want to go for that option i live 3 miles from wallington i will collect the bumper for you and give you my number to sort out getting it delivered for you by parcelforce if that helps. you just missed the oportunity as my friend lives in martinstown and i went down there new years eve had i known i would have bought it down to you

on ebay there is a company that offers courier service. For £8.50 they will collect from a location and deliver to the required address. It may be slightly more with the size of the package may be worth having a look??

The last loose one I saw was at the side of the track at Bruntingthorpe last year (could'nt say who the owner was on here

...didn't look like it would fit INSIDE a MINI

I managed to get both bumpers and side skirts in my Mini after having the aero kit fitted.

However you have to put them in loose as the bumper boxes are too large.

My advice make sure you have plenty of sheets to cover the inside as there are some rough edges.

Ok, the auction has ended and i decided not to buy. Noticed a set of aero skirts on there the other day but someone must have bought them outside of ebay
