When I say new product I mean new to our range, obviously radiators for Minis have been around for as long as the Mini has.

There is still one radiator left at the special discounted price by the way!

Thank you very much, we will get it checked and pressure tested and sent out tomorrow, you should receive it on Friday!

When the next batch is almost ready I'll see if we can get a group discount together for those who missed out on this first discount opportunity.

would be nice to see a thermex and china made rad side by side and photo of the cores if someone can do that, see where the money is going

Out of the box:



20 minutes of polishing:



Fitted in with ease. Only thing i'm going to do is make the bolt holes in the rad cowling slightly wider so I can space the rad abit further from the fan:

mike, what polish did you use? i might do mine.. i say might

My £56 one is brilliant, done 10,000 miles without a problem, its only a 40mm one yet its done a few track days and doesnt get hot at all!!!

I want to polish mine like that /\ /\ /\

and people moan about the welding but its certainly neater than my welding

I used a polishing kit from the polishing shop. Google it it'll come up, and click on polishing kits.

Kit cost under a tenner and comes with a range of mops and compounds, with an arbor to mount them to a drill.

I did my wheels with them aswell, came out great.

i used the flebay cheepo's before on my prevously tuned cars (not nesissarily mini's) and have found them to work excellent. i'll be buying 1 of those £56 jobbies for my current project..... its not too often made in china works so they have my money......

Thanks for the continued responses guys, I've had a think about what you have all said and about the "Group Discount" and have decided to offer the following.

For the first 5 people to purchase a mini radiator, I will offer a 15% discount! All you have to do is use discount code TMF at the checkout. This means the radiators are available for £119 (excl. VAT and carriage)

UPDATE: Sold two already and just checked the stocks and we don't have as many left as I expected, so unfortunately I have to limit this to another 1 radiator at the special discount...sorry guys! But don't worry, we are getting another batch ready and I'll see if we can get together a group discount for you because I know a few of you were interested who may not have had chance to take advantage of the discount.

I know its abit of a bump! but would this group buy be happening again soon?

[Rosslin Racing]

Paid through the nose for mine from minispeed but I have had no issues and it works, and works well

One rule of thumb BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sold those rads at the IMM 2010 and they went to spain in 2011 I asked the gent at the IMM 2011 if the rads are ok he reckons they are worth every penny a mate got the Ebay China job and it did not last the summer the welds came undone and the core split. ) so what you saved you can put into that new engine you might need later.

Buy British guys and girls
