Hi I have just purchased a Mini Cooper Sport MY 2000 and have some rust issues would you recommend the mini hospital for repair / repaint the rust is coming through in the normal areas - under headlight a panels etc. Not sure of the cost for to put it right.
I hasd a 1979 1100 special many years ago but it got written off (not my fault) before I got it out of my system.

Yep highly recommend The Mini Hospital, you'll get an excellent job.
I'll be sending the matt black one there as well, and Dr Bob is a really nice chap.

New update....
Have to put it in here as the TMF+ threads are not seen by everyone...
Well.... Simon's done it again... EVEN better than last time...
Ordered a new exhaust from Simon@Minispares for Boo at about lunchtime yesterday.... that package arrived THIS MORNING..!!!! Can't believe it..!!
Fantastic...!!!!! thank so much Simon. Great service:w00t:
Now I just need Tich to get back to me for when he can fit it... I'd have a crack at it myself, but Soo has put a veto on that...
...'You can do what you like to your Junker, but you leave my Boo alone'....
(But I will install the boot kit when it arrives later this week...)

OK, another little update, I finally got the boot kit from Retro Retrims (thanks Chris, hope you're feeling better)
So off I went to work where Alan (not Gimpy Alan, but another one) was going to complete the Audio install...
The boot kit is a bit of a tight squeeze especially when it come to putting on the thin trim pieces, but we got there.
I'm not sure where in the sub box the amp was supposed to go, but at the moment, it's hidden in front of the trim piece on the sub box.... have a look and tell me what you think... although you can't really see it, I've also got the boot lid kit with the Map pocket (just need to secure it properly (just placed there at the mo...
Here you go...
And the sub
Next is getting the exhaust fitted (would have been on Tuesday but things went a little wrong on that day)

Looks good Git.
How easy is it to get to the washer bottle in the back with it in?

Bit tricky, remove the trim panel, support the amp slide the box out of the way and remove the bottle.... all fine until you try to put the trim panel back (could do with a couple of mil' leeway)
EDIT... Thank's guys, I'm really pleased with it.
