Hi!

I've inherited a mini 35.

It had a tiny bit of damage on the front panel below the bumper from hitting a curb so I got someone to replace that panel and also a front wing that had some rust on it.

Anyway - it now needs a decent amount of paint doing, there's also a couple of scratches on the car that I want sorting too!

So basically I need a friendly local paint shop - ideally an enthusiast and importantly one that won't charge the earth for their work.

The car has only done 16k miles and is still on original tyres etc. I would like to maintain as much originality as possible.

all advice welcome.

I'm based near Chorley in Lancashire by the way.

Cheers

You could try The Mini Restoration Company at Rainford ?

That will be a super can and an appreciating asset when properly restored. They really are lovely cars.

You should take a trip out to Mini Technique in Pilling. Be amazed at how many Mini's and spares he has.
