Nice rack! Seems like a comprehensive rebuild and, with a lifetime warranty, I don't think you can go wrong especially considering the relatively low cost.

 

 

I have yet to buy an actual MINI-branded part simply because the cost is prohibitive (think BMW prices). I've replaced engine seals, o-rings, brakes/rotors, air, oil and fuel filters, end links, thermostat & housing, coil, front hubs/bearings, shocks, etc. and never gone near a MINI dealer. To date, I've yet to experience a reliability issue. www.partsgeek.com is a good, inexpensive parts source. You need to be aware of the warranties offered but I don't think, unless you're a purist, that you need factory parts to keep it on the road and running correctly.

 

I'm not a purist, just didn't want to buy junk.
