I might have a (new) set at home. I think they were chromed - let me know if you are interested and I'll have a search.

dude dont buy 'cheap' chrome mirrors, they rust real quickly. I purchased a pair for 15 quid, utter ****e! I then purchased a 40quid pair and had no problems what-so-ever.

Don't use MiniSport. All they are interested in now is BMW Stuff.

You'll get a descent set (for descent money) from DSN Classics. Get the stainless steel ones as chrome will just pit and rot.

Dont know if thats strictly true - I was over there last week buying some harness eyebolts, and their showroom still has a heavy classic mini bias.

They're crap at anwsering emails though, still waiting for engineering prices from them for my 205 rebuild

Everyone I've spken to recently said they were running their stock low, therefore you couldn't get stuff / or a date for when it would be in and they didn't seem interested in the Classic stuff ??


I haven't used them for a few years now since they tried to fob me off with shady swarf scratched Alloy 4 Pots. Mind you they did result in me starting to use the KAD alloy 4 pots and a few or their other products. The new quick shift they do is beautiful, really nice looking (and working) bit of kit !!

They were working on loads of new minis though, and their prices are still sky high.

Cost me £10 for 2 eyebolts and 2 backing plates.

Yikes, I'm needing ot get some longer eye bolts so I can fit the rear seatbelts again as Mr MOT'll not be too happy with the current 'tucked under the rear bench' arrangement.

What mini you running anyway ??

I've got a modded Sportspack.

Not running a Mini (dont fit in them)

Rebuilding my 205 Mi16. I bought the eyebolts, but they are the short ones so I also need to swap them for longer items I need them for the tunnel to fit the inside harness bolts.

You local then?
