I am repairing a mk1 for a friend and in return he is re spraying my mondeo

well after looking at it and telling him that he needed a floor pan quarter, a boot floor repair panel, 2 sills, rear valence, wings and a panels he told me to order the parts for him

this was done at mini spares over the internet. On monday 2 parcels arrived at work and i opened them and checked that everything was there and not damaged which it wasn't as usual, great i thought i have something to do over the weekend now,

on Wednesday a courier arrived with another parcel at work from mini spares, strange i thought i have everything upon looking in the box i found a stainless steel bumper in it which i had not ordered.

i got straight on the phone to Ivan at mini spares after a few emails and a few pictures of labels etc i got an email tonight that it was an error on their part and due to the postage costs from sweden i could dispose of the bumper as i wished.

So i thought i would just like to post a thread here to say to everyone (if there is anyone that didnt know) that mini spares are fantastic

now i just need to work out what to do with it as mine is de-bumpered

Great! not often stuff like that happens! But mini spares are great. I have been emailing Simon over the last few days with queries prior to my order and he has been as fantastic as always.

Are you in a mini club? ask around, see if anyone needs one. Theres always someone with a rusty bumper!

i fail to see what is so special about a standard delivery. they only said keep it as they would be out of pocket collecting it from there, otherwise i bet they would have had it back.

I agree, they would have but compared to others they do other the best service.

They are good, whenever I go to the shop in Potters Bar if I am not quite sure what I need they are always very helpfull, could not ask for more

i always have car troubles when i go to mini spares oldbury, but theyre great guys in there, i once accidentally locked my keys in the car, and they helped me out

[analogue_radio]

Ye, echoing everyone above. Fantastic service, always use Mini Spares.

Apart from when ordering nuts and bolts, can't help feeling they'd benefit hugely from having blow apart diagrams like Moss & Somerford.

I'd love to use Mini Spares when ordering my nuts and bolts, it's just a lot easier to see a blow apart diagram so I know what goes where.

[GreaseMonkey]

Yeah nothing but great service

I do feel something like an exploded diagram like Moss and Somerford have would help but don't make it so it's the only way of looking for parts via exploded diagrams

Also I find that I need magic keywords in the search to find what I need but I understand keeping a site like that with so many parts is hard work and updating everything takes time

We do have exploded diagrams, they just need moving somewhere a bit more prominent....

No! Bristol!! Fed up of spending money on postage costs Excellent service I must add, only ever had one thing that was slightly wrong, contacted them, sent it back and got money back straight away. Always use MiniSpares instead of the other suppliers.
