hi, theres a fair few mini spares outlets in the midlands, i wouldn't touch miniman the robbin b****d, mnispares out towards wolverhamptom is good, Min-its performance a series hockley heath is great, cheap and really helpful and just off juction 4 of m42 is easy to get too. but all the major stores are in the mini mags so probably best shop around for parts, oh and jonspeed in nuneaton a are specailist mini racing tunin and racing are good mechanics by all accounts

hpoe that helped
