Their door steps don't fit either. The profile is completely different.

BMW own the rights to the original Classic Mini body panel shapes, so, to get round paying a licence fee, other panel makers have to make theirs slightly different.
I found this out almost 25 years ago. Knowing that Fisher and Ludlow used to make stainless steel kitchen sinks as well as BMC body panels, as an idea to raise money for a charity, I tried to get 40 stainless steel Mini shells made for 40 really special Minis, to be auctioned world wide for the Mini's 40th birthday.
I hoped that the advertising department could have made a "Willy Wonka Golden Bar" "thing" out of it, but nobody was interested.
Undaunted, I contacted an "after market" company and asked if they could do it. They said that they would have been delighted to help but they didn't make the bulkheads, because legally, if they made all the panels they would have to pay a licence fee, but they could avoid this if they only made selected panels to their own design.
