Car Forum / MINI / September 2006front wing undershields
Anyone know where I can get some plastic front wing undershields and for how much? i saw the advert in mini magazine for some at Derek's Mini's but at £65 they are too much. Any other outlets known and do they fit properly Cheers Martin What the Camlo Undershields? Well I believe you have to check if their actually suitable for your Mini model/year because they can foul later components that got fitted to later models. I do remember them being tested years ago and it was claimed back in the mid 1980's that if their not fitted properly (and the example kit didn't come with enough pins/nails or whatever to mount them effectively), then they can cause dirt and grime to stay behind the sheilds and then accelerate problems even more. I guess waxoyling is generally the best option? Taffy I like to remove the wheels every so often & check for rust, if alls ok remove the dirt, then wash, wax & polish under the wheel arches, grease up the suspension, adjust the breaks & put the wheels back on, sounds tedious but only needs to be done twice a year, Steve. http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/6029/a1su3.jpg > What the Camlo Undershields? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Taffy Nice one Steve, the inno is looking good, do you fancy doing Castle Combe at the end of the month we have spare seats in the bus, or like me, go in the mini, how about you Taff Fitzy >I like to remove the wheels every so often & check for rust, if alls ok >remove the dirt, then wash, wax & polish under the wheel arches, grease up [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> Taffy Yes that Mini does look mint Steve!
