Hey guys and gals -

I am toying with the idea of adding a MINI parts line to my exhisting traditional hot rod parts company, and was looking for some input on what you all would look for.

I work at a MINI dealer and see what people do to to thier cars every day, so I have a pretty good idea on what to stock that is already made.

What makes me different though, is offering painted peices such as headlights and headlight rings, side scuttles, exhaust tips, grills, R56/55 tailight surrounds, and the trim around the beltline of the car in black - or any color you would want is for that matter. I am also toying with doing carbon fiber insters, as well as full slide back cloth top conversions (think vintage Volkswagen Beetle) for the huge sunroofs MINI's offer. Also rear seat deletes, rear strut tower braces, and whatever YOU are looking for.

Would this be something you you'd be interested in? Feedback would be awesome.

 

Good ideas, especially the ragtops since I'm a vintage VW fanatic myself.
If you could find someone to model and patent and make the front parcel tray for 2nd gen cars, I think you'd have a gold mine on your hands!

 

If you could get some of the stuff not available already that would awesome. Looking at products like you see on some of the UK MINI sites that cost an arm and leg to order over there and ship here. It would be great to have a domestic source for the parts.

 

Please follow the proper channels...
