    Be careful though. Petrol is a solvent where as diesel is a lubricant so any petrol that passes through the fuel system will start to corrode the rubber pipes as well as other parts. If you see white smoke coming through the exhaust, that is a very expensive fuel system going by the wayside.

    I bought a whole front end worth of panels off Minisport, NEVER AGAIN! >_< Dunno if that helps you decide on the floors or not, lol

    According to the dude I talked to from minisport (AFTER they'd sent me the wrong footwells)- who by the way was apparently their sales manager - said that the footwells never changed over the course of production of the mini.. In that case why did the ones i received have drain holes in them (Which they didn't supply plugs for, either) when the originals did not!?
