Difficulty Finding Product - Help!

Hi,

I just put my mini on order - but since I got a MC I could not get the cool matching Hyper Blue interior dash and door trim . I'd love to buy a set and install them myself.

I've been looking everywhere on the web and I can't seem to find it . . . any suggestions??

You could get a MINI aftermarket garage to take them off and paint them the same color,
goes for a couple hundred bucks

Welcome to NAM. You can buy what you want from Classic MINI. They offer a nice discount to us NAM menbers. Their contact info is at the top of this page in the Vendor Directory.

Here's the link for Classic MINI: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...%2Fclassicauto
The parts can also be ordered from the parts department of your dealer.

The cost of the body colored dash pieces is not bad -- around $200. However the door trim pieces are not available separately and you can only buy them with the entire door panels (expensive).

Bring them to a body shop if you want the door panels done too. It will be cheaper. The door panels in body color from the dealership will be several hundred dollars EACH.

I took my panels to a body shop and they did a great job:




Oh, and, if you need any help removing any of the interior pieces, let me know. It seems that I have had to take everything off so many times now that I could do it with my eyes closed .

Thanks so much!!

I'll wait until I get my car - but if the silver seems just as dull (I LOVE color!!) - I know how to transform it into blue!
