I know it's an odd request, but I need some old smashed up, accident-damaged body parts-- like hood, bumper covers, rear deck lid, doors or doorskins, quarterpanels, etc. Prefer that they are first gen. panels (ie fit an 03 Cooper S or Cooper).

if you are getting body work done where they are replacing your panels, please simply ask that they hold on and return your removed panels. I'm in Escondido (North San Diego county) and will be happy to come pick them up if you too are in San Diego. you can email me through the forum feature or drop me a line at sandiegominis[AT]s b c g l o b a l [dot] net
