Hi Folks

Does anyone know if Clubman front chrome bumpers are still available
please? If not new, what is the position re good quality S/H?

Moss list them in their catalogue but are shown as no longer stocked.

Mine was rusted through and has gone to meet its maker.

Any ideas please? North West UK

Thanks

Pedro

not seen any, I dont think anyone re manufactures these at present, but they
have just started making new clubman body shells again, so who knows what
the future holds, try looking at auto jumbles etc, you will probably pay £££
for it though.

Hi Pedro,

Try Mini and Metro spares in Warrington.
www.mini-metro.co.uk they have thousands of spares for all types of Mini
including Clubman's.

Thanks Matt and Steve.

Just emailed M&M (first I've heard of them). Wait to see if they can
help.

If anyone else has any ideas I'd be grateful.

Big help. Thanks

BTW Pedro where in NW? I'm in Wigan meself...

M&M's are a fantastic shop, you'd be amazed at the amount of stuff he has
for all breeds of Mini's.

It's a bit awkward to find but once you know where it is you'll get there
everytime or the other thing you could do is just ring 'em. Nice and
friendly to talk to.

Hi All,
Found a complete clubman in a breakers yard last week,
the front end was complete and looks in good condition, the rear was covered
so don't know what it was like,
the grille, bumper and lights where all in good condition,
the place was called Tangemans recovery, I think that's how it's spelt,, its
between Lydiate and Haskayne just outside of Liverpool on the A5147

Thanks Steve,
between work and holidays I haven't been on the NG for a while,
Myself and 3 mates decided to take our minis for a run down to Italy,
and see the sites in Turin, so off we went,
4 minis and 2,300 miles later and we are back, some of the mountain
scenery was mind blowing,

Hi, Fitzy,
did you try the Stelvio Pass? It's awsome and rises to 11000 feet.

Hi Fitzy,
The Stelvio Pass.
If you look at a map of western Austria and draw a straight line between
Innsbruck and Bergamo in northern Italy, the Stelvio is about halfway
between these two places. At the top, you can continue down the other side
and either enter Italy, or turn right after about 1/2 mile and run down a
rather hairy track into Switzerland.

Look up Spondigna, Italy on Google Earth, turn on the flag in Layers
to show roads, adjust the zoom until you can clearly see the wiggly
yellow line marked SS38 heading South  West, use your mouse to follow
the road. Mark it with a Placemark, you'll want to come back!

For a less exciting approach, see websites such as:

Wierd.

I ask about a clubman chrome front bumper and find myself hurtling down
a series of Italian hairpin bends trying to emulate the three Italian
Job Minis that sit on top of my monitor.

Strange yet interesting.

BTW I took a look at the scrap dealer near Moghull but it was closed
and there was no sign of a clubby outside. Was it outside Fitzy or was
the place open when you saw it?

Still need a chrome front bumper :-)

Cheers

Peter

Hi Pedro,
I have sent you a link with multimap,
the clubby is inside the compound,, I asked about the interior,, so all the
parts are for sale,

No longer available new, so you're stuck with 2nd hand items in variable
condition, more or less dented and more or less pitted. Check out eBay
as they usually pop up quite regularly.
Fitzy - 06 Aug 2005 18:55 GMT
Hi Pedro
The clubman I mentioned is still there, and looking good,
if you need a location ,, email me
