Fitzy - 03 Apr 2004 16:34 GMT I have bought a little project car, (it would be a shame to let it die ,,,) 1988 Mini city, 33-000 miles full service history, very tidy inside ,, a bit tatty on the outside, I bought the car with the front panel and wings damaged, it came with a new front panel and two new front wings and "A" post panels, I have chopped it back to the "A" posts, and fitted the new front, I now need two sills and a rear valance, I am cutting the old sills off, and would rather fit the replacement parts ,not the oversized one's , any suggestions as to where to source these parts, other than a dealer, I have phoned around locally and they only have the oversized panels Merseyside area
thanks Fitzy

I have emailed M-Machine for the parts, Thanks to all who responded, Fitzy
The Muffin Man - 06 Apr 2004 20:13 GMT I should be doing the dales in the one in the photos ;)
We can meet and you can point to where the whole used to be!!

They're certainly not the cheapest, but the panels they produce fit perfectly and are of great quality! The only other places I would buy panels from are Heritage and Somerford Mini.
I'm hopefully going to be ordering a ton of panels from M-Machine and Heritage very soon, for my MK1 restorations!
