whats the best boot repair panel you lot have dealt with (the rear 10inches or so), the last one i bought was a magnum, and was a pig to fit, the bumper holes werent right either!

Any recomendations?

same as mine then terrible fit, Im never using them again. only other one I've had experience with is get the genuine boot floor and cut out what you want, however that might be abit expensive depending on how mush rust you have, if its bad its worth it in the amount of time you will save yourself. or make you own out of some sheet steel if the spare wheel pressing i'snt affected.

Is the curved tyre well rotten? If not get the sheet steel out.

Somerford Mini's do two types, a budget one and a resto quality item. It maybe worth giving them a call to see what the resto quality one is like.

thanks, yeah had to do a lot of modifications the spare wheel bit to make it fit, i would make it of sheet, but if i would rather pay for a quality job, when i count my time i would spend getting the bumper holes right..... or could they be done without?
its good on the outside, but is near rotted through about inch all the way round the inside.

might give somerford a shout.

I found the same with the magnum one, it was nowhere near right!

I'm glad I'm going for the bumperless look!

Somerford resto quality one is £30, Budget is piece £18, neither include the spare wheel part, you cut around the top by the look of it, might give them a phone.
