trim and other Bits for R50 Cooper

[XJSJohn]

Where is teh best place to get cosmetic trim like badges, wheel centers, door cards, and other cosmetic trim bits for an older Mini Cooper (late '02)

Bought one as a runaround for SWIMBO and she has become quite attached to the little thing (actually i had forgotten how much fun the early ones were too), and she wants to tidy up some of the badges and plastics that are obviously suffering from 16 or 17 years of exposure to the elements!

cheers.

ebay for the shiny plastic bits (badges / wheel centres etc) and probably BMW (or a scrappers) for the door cards etc. BMW will of course carefully part your butt cheeks before presenting you with a bill. Failing that, some of the independent BMW garages also look after MINIs so you might be able to get stuff through them.

yea was wondering if there was anyone that flogged new-old or aftermarket new bits that was recomended as a one stop shop? Fleabay can be a proper PITA, especially when buying cosmetic bits second hand as the aesthetic value is generally beaten out of them already
