my friend will be visiting London these days, and I thought I might use him to save on some shipping and duties...

Any recommendations for a shop with mini parts (small parts and trim, mostly) with reasonable prices?

thanx,
Ivan

Hi Ivan

wheres your friend staying and will they have a car? most places around london are on the outskirts and may be hard to get to without a car.

You won't be finding any mini parts shops on Oxford Street if that was what you were hoping.

Most suppliers occupy large warehouses in industrial estates near major roads, more likely on the outskirts of London as rosewhite said

Trust me, you won't be disappointed with Minispares!!!!! (and don't forget you get 5% discount for telling them you are on TMF)
