I need to replace both inner and outer sills plus inner wings. I also have a few mini spares vouchers to use. Are they any good? Fit and quality

buy the genuine ones, they will all need fettling to get the shut lines correct

[truebrandon]

Cheers for that any advise on fitting?

Try M Machine their inner and outer sill are very good. Use your vouchers on something else.

+1 on this, M.Machine sills fit great

When I got sills from minispares, the only correct shape ones they did were heritage ones.

M machine it is then. So what do I spend £250 of vouchers on

I know free money. Where to start. What's the one thing you want to buy for your mini if you have free cash?

Not sure, got about £400 worth of bits myself, waiting for some nice weather to fit. Stage 1 kit is obvious choice if you don't have one already. Nice sticky tyres are always good. New cones, decent headlights, the list in endless!

New bumpers. Front spotty kit?

a mini doesn't have inner sills its part of the floor panels, the panels that are sold as inner seals are horrible and just hide the problem. Replace the floor panel much better finish and lasts a lot longer, genuine panels all the way

Although what you say is true like heritage, M machine sell a complete inner sill section ie full length, not the repair panel you see sold by various companies.
The M Machine ones are very good as are the Heritage ones.

No matter what you do though to replace either a floor or a complete inner sill especially at the back requires a lot of work to be done correctly. Access to the heelboard end where the inner sill attaches to requires getting inside the companion bin area so best removed.

Yes, one thing I hate, almost as much as oversills, and which ought to be illegal, is those "inner sill" repair panels with the cutout to clear the seat crossmember. Structurally, completely useless.
