Hi all, I am from Argentina and down here it´s pretty hard to get Mini parts.
I have an R53 and I am planning to turn it into a track car.
I would like to know if the front doors of a 2009 Mini will fit my 2006 R53.
Also, if a complete dashboard from the same 2009 Mini will physically fit the R53, and if it will require some sort of coding.
Thanks in advance.

Think the simple answer is NO.
Gen 2 Minis are slightly bigger than Gen 1, he glass line is taller on the door.

Someone more technical will be along and answer more in full.
