100£ for a couple of bits of plastic ???????????

 

These kind of items will never sell in large numbers anymore to the relatively small number of classic Mini enthusiasts interested, therefore the price of manufacturing small volumes of parts and the cost of production tooling, etc to produce them, ultimately means the end sale price is often quite high to give a reasonable profit margin.

I doubt the sale price for the similar items fitted to my Modern MINI would be much less from a BMW Spares Dept for something that has probably been produced for several million new MINI's over recent years.

Plastic arch liners and undershields are a part of modern car protection, I have removed the black plastic inner wheel arch liners on my modern BMW MINI (2002) for work access occasionally and the original factory red paint in the wheelarches behind is still clean, rust free and as new.
 
Front plastic wheel arch liners are available for classic Minis from Minispares:-

I have not seen a single BMW mini with rust. They seem to be better than BMWs!

The primary place for the earlier ones to rust is under the door seals. My mates 54 plate JCW had a small issue there, nothing else though.
