I'm trying to find the best deals on body panels. Good product at the cheapest price.

I originally purchased quite a few panels from minisport, but after shopping around I think I could have saved some extra money somewhere else.

Any suggestions? Where does the "majority" get their panels from?

cheap panels dont fit to well so you spend time ******* around until they fit or your bodyshop does! which means you will spend more in the end,
I would speak to your fav dealer and maybe he will sort you a price out. which country are you in?

Somerford Minis for me although we have had panels from Minisport and Minspares. I would recommend using Heritage panels if you can afford them as the quality of a lot of the aftermarket panels does vary.

Quite a few panels whether Heritage or pattern will need some reworking to make them fit well so it is entirely upto you.

Hmmm, intresting.

Well thanks for the advice! I guess theres no time like the present to try my hand at some light fabrication and body work!
