Hey all I am the owner of 2005 Mini S Mr. Bean tribute car and just purchased and got yesterday my 1979 Austin Mini which I will be making into a Mr. Bean Mini replica. It's a great Mini that needs some TLC. It has great featherlites on it but I'm looking for the plain rims with chrome center caps to look more like Beans. Also gonna need front seats, the aftermarket race seats in it need to go. If anyone can point me in the right direction it's greatly appreciated.

 

Try Mini Mania for starters

 

Thank you I will be checking it out

 

Seven usually has used wheels which can save some bucks. You'll need to kleen them up and paint 'em but they are solid.

{I would call and discuss - don't just pop a web order on this item.}

Seven in general is a good source in the US. My primary sources of parts over the last 8 years with a 79 have been MiniMania and Seven with an occasional reach to MiniSport (but be careful with them, the shipping charges from UK can be killer - I just priced a $170 item thru the US site and the shipping would be $120 ... so when you price parts you want to look at the shipping too) GB Parts gets good comments but I've not used them myself. http://www.gbcarparts.com/

 

Thanks Capt that 7ent site looks great!!

Thanks I have to find out first if the10 inch wheels will fit. I've been doing some reading and seeing on the newer classics they have bigger front brakes and 10's don't fit. Let me check out what I've got and get back to you. Thanks again
