From Minimail as featured in the latest Mini Magazine:
Mk3 onwards Bootlid conversion panel to Mk1 style (MS19K)
This panel gives all you need to convert a late bootlid to Mk1/2 style. Needs to be welded in (Bootlid shown for reference - not included)
Anyone fitted one of these conversion panels yet?
Scroll down for details:

Don't suppose these are still available are they....?
Or if anyone has 1 they don't want and would like to swap for a few pounds....?

I bought one at MITP. Fitted it recently and it's OK but not 100% perfect fit. I don't think it was a Minimail one though.

I fitted one yesterday and finished the job this afternoon. It all took about 2 hours in total, but I didn't hurry the job as I wanted to get it right.
It is a very straightforward job, although it does cause a bit of distortion on the long run of weld. All sorted with a very small amount of P38 body filler. Ideally a door edge clinching tool is useful for folding the lower edge into place and use some seam sealer under the flanges before clinching up finally.
You need an angle grinder with a 1mm thick cutting disc. Mark accurately before cutting. Don't forget to fill the holes left from the old number plate light above the number plate position.
