Im not new to sports cars, nor the hot-hatch world, however, this will be my first Mini and Im not sure where the best places to get aftermarket parts are? Such things as color coded (or black) head light/tail light surrounds, black door handles/gas cap, JCW front and rear fascia extensions and anything else that I may want down the road.

Also, what are some other aftermarket wheel companies that sell similar wheels like Klutch and 3SDM wheels?

Any info is appreciated.

I haven't bought many aftermarket parts but I did buy from Sewell and they were very good. Brandon posts here.

ECS Tuning also posts here and I'd not hesitate to buy from them either.

Way Motor Works and out motoring are both great as well! Way posts here a lot as well!

Did you try touring the 'Vendor Directory' in the Main Menu list?

I've bought MINI parts from ECSTuning, PelicanParts, Classic MINI of Ohio, and Sewell
and have had good experiences will all (all vendors here).

We are happy to help you as we sell those parts. But if you're looking for complete bumpers the best thing to do is get them local as any savings you can get on them would be killed by the shipping.

Here are the gas gaps:

Thanks for the info and links, everyone. I will definitely be checking all of them out.

ebay or amazon?

Way or ECS for me. Both are awesome companies.

I can give two thumbs up for Way Motoring! My wife ordered some stuff for my car for Christmas and she ordered R56 instead of F56 stuff. WMW sent the necessary adaptors right away without question. Excellent customer service.

ECS is my favorite, outmotoring is excellent as well.

Thanks, we do everything we can.

Thanks Bavmotors
