Oh dear, I've just ordered one from them! 

 

Never used them before, but now I'm a bit worried - always used Minispares in the past.

My Minisport Stage 1 kit to replace the current manifolds I had fit fine. Admittedly I did have all the aforementioned missing parts already as I already had a Stage 1 kit fitted but it arrived quickly and was ok on price. My only comment would be the amount of metal filings that were in the packet with the inlet manifold. I made sure to clean the manifold thoroughly and remove any flash to avoid any entering my engine.

Well my stage 1 kit arrived 2 days after ordering and I got it fitted yesterday afternoon. All went well. Only criticism was that the flanges on the inlet and exhaust manifolds where they bolt on to the cylinder head were different thicknesses so had to use half washers to make them level with each other. And the bracket that bolts through the subframe with the large rubber block was too wide to match up with the holes that I had. A quick squash in the vice sorted that though. I'm finding that you have to be inventive when you have a Mini!

So first Mini Sport purchase was OK as it turned out.
