Hi everyone just wondering if anyone has a good source for parts in the UK?! mainly the jcw parts but also looking at a few aftermarket pieces. Got alot of parts direct from MINI dealerships but it ends up veryyy expensive! any ideas?!

 

Depends what you're after mate...
Im in the UK and am really into moding my Mini (done loads so far)

Drop me a PM if you're interested in company names etc..

 

Im from the UK and into my modding. I highly recommend Lohen, they offer excellent prices and excellent products along with great customer service!

Hope this helps, Ryan

 

+1 for Lohen! Source a few of my mods there.

 

i was in contact with lohen... i ordered 4 items... silvertek bulbs, alta stubby antenna, alta turbo hose and atla boost tubes. a message was left on my phone saying the two hose kits were out of stock but on the way from america. recieved the silvertek bulbs and antenna very quickly BUT the antenna was for the R53 not the R56!! fair enough mistake, sent it back and they have yet to send me the new one 10days on. I then enquired again about the hose kits and was told they have just found out the turbo one doesnt fit uk cars and they have no idea when the boost hose kit will be there!
i expect this is just a bad experience, i have used lohen in the past and their services were perfect, and judging on whats being said by others, this is the norm.

 

You'll find that Lohen get shippments from Alta once a month and normally they have very few of their items 'on the shelf' and are placing orders on demand. Especially with the newer R56 items. Had the same issue when i ordered my Alta CAI. They always kept me informed so i was happy.
