I was recommended by minifix to a guy named Dave in Clontarf. He is very reasonably priced and the work I was really pleased with.
Cost me 700 euro to have the rust removed, refurbished the right hand door, new left side door+sprayed, new boot lid+sprayed, new rear valence+sprayed sportspack replica arches also sprayed. He is good, if you would like his number just lemme know.

I saw a mini yesterday I was considering buying. A blue 1.3...It had no NCT and a few other problems. I decided not to buy it.
My own mini I love and am torn between getting a new one or sticking with my own. I think sticking with my own is going to be best for now with all the work done to her.
