Hi everyone, my mini has been in need of a tidy up for a while now. Does anyone have any recommendations for restoration companies? I know Somerford minis are good but looking to see if there are others... Happy to trailer it and travel. Cheers

Another vote for Ben, he’s had the wife’s 40 LE in for work recently, 5 stars.

slark restorations, they did my jet black. have a look on their website. mine is the black one that you can see on there. They also have a jig so that you know everything is properly lined up and correctly fitted.

Do it yourself? Is this not an option? Best way you learn how it all goes together.

I tried getting mine done there but couldn’t even get a quote or a call back! Tried loads of times. Hideous customer service
