Obviously having done a few Group Buys on offical MINI items in the past, I know what tends to generate the interest, and where savings can be made, but I thought lets get a poll going to see what people want now.

Things I have done before are:

Spot lights
Aero Skirts
Full Aero Kits
R90's
R99's
R105's
Front JCW seats
Rear JCW seats
JCW Exhaust
JCW Strut brace
JCW brakes

And a few more things that I can't remember right now, but the question has to be what would you sign up for if I did a group buy on it, remembering that GB's normally reduce price by around 20-25% depending on numbers, and that higher priced items usually have less interest in them

uncle albert · Jun 21st, 2006, 02:46 PM

Only me that wants cheap MINI parts then?

James

Rakey · Jun 21st, 2006, 02:49 PM

looks that way, makes my life easier

JDinho · Jun 21st, 2006, 03:29 PM

I would be interested on seeing prices for JCW Exhaust, JCW Airbox & JCW Brakes.

...dang

... should have ordered a JCW

I love MINI, Laura · Jun 21st, 2006, 03:40 PM

I voted on Aero side skirts for me, full aero kit for my sister and driving lights for my mate and my sister. Theres definately the takers. Its just the time and the price isn't it!

was there not a problem with the JCW exhaust???

uncle albert · Jun 21st, 2006, 03:56 PM

Am I going mad, or is there a bug in the multi-option voting? I know only 3 people have voted, but surely the percentages are calculated incorrectly?

James

danb · Jun 21st, 2006, 04:00 PM

When I voted I didn't see the JCW brake kit, is there a way I can edit my vote?

"Reedy" · Jun 21st, 2006, 05:09 PM

How about the JCW leather dashboard, that would be my choice

minicore · Jun 21st, 2006, 05:18 PM

I'd be interested in the front seats and the carbon trim, but there would have to be a decent discount.

Would also be interested in the leather dash...

nylo · Jun 21st, 2006, 05:52 PM

I voted for "other" coz I had the Recaros in mind, though not sure if you can retrofit them...

JCW suspension is another I'd be very interested in...

Failing that, I'd be interested in the JCW airbox for the S, and very very possibly the Works seats, though they'd need to be down waaaaay much for me to be totally convinced

I'd imagine the recarros are an expensive Retrofit item, as I have heard of a dealer that screwed up an order for a car and missing them off, so they then added them to another car and swapped them

Best bet for those might be find someone that wants to swap with you

supa-dupa-cooper · Jun 21st, 2006, 08:02 PM

Aero Side Skirts

I keep on looking at them but i refuse to pay my dealers price

Aye, I have a notion that could be like hens' teeth

Can't imagine anyone who has Recaros would want to swap em for my (albeit lovely) 2 year old black/blue sports numbers

(though I am open to offers

)

I'm not even sure if they can actually be ordered as a retrofit item yet, but I thought it would be worth a go, what with your special powers an' all

Even if they were £1000, I'd still buy them... I'll never have another MINI without aero skirts. Definitely one of the best mods you can make to your car!

I'll try and get a price, but yes, they can be ordered, but won't ask at the moment as I have a few irons already in the fire so need them to get sorted out first

nice one, so you order a set at £1000 from me, and then I can order another 6 sets with your money and sell them to everyone else

nice idea

£700 for just the skirts is a bit steep compared to in that other thread on here where with Derek Woodman the whole kit is only about £850

no promises, but I am aiming to get almost as low as humanly possible, and as close to the last GB price I got, which was £200+ VAT

But like I say, watch this space
