These are brand new, never installed. Will need to be painted, constructed of fiberglass. Vents have a silver mesh. Fitment is for 02-06 MC or MCS

No one is selling these in the US at this time. I ordered them from Europe for my Mini and figured I might as well bring over a second set at the same time. They were not inexpensive and when you add on all the extra fees for shipping and customs brokers and taxes it adds up.

Asking $500 + shipping + 3.5% for PayPal, checks accepted. Will ship once cleared.

I have not yet installed mine, it will be a few weeks before the paint shop can get me in.

I have this one. I'll ask the original vendor if he has any others.

They wouold need to be prepped and painted. The surface prep now is quite good but a light sanding then a primer and color coat would be the least it would need. Replacement is simple, it's all bolt in. As with any fiberglass part there are all slightly different even off the same mold, so it's possible some minor fitting would be required as well.

Costs depend on the local rates in your area, but his is a very straightforward job for most any decent body shop. I'd recommend you show them to your body man and ask how much.

Although this is not within my reach right now - you can save yourself and your buyer money by having the PayPal payment sent as an eCheck. The eCheck fee maxes out at $5.00 vs the 3.5% your asking. Just an FYI.

Interesting. Well if anyone wants to use the eCheck option then just add in $5.30, since they also charge the 0.30 per transaction as well.

Ohh and I will ship when funds have cleared, typicaly 3-5 business days.

More photos

Here are some more photos of the fenders.

Very good finish on these translates to very litte extra prep time for the body man.





Note the long strands of fiberglass, thats a hand laid sheet for more strength, very little flex in these.

Have my set and the Mini in the shop this week for paint and fitment.

Still have the extra set available. Be the first on your block, no others like these in states at this time I think.

They do look sharp, just not in the budget right now.

Sold at MiTM..in fact could have sold 3 sets there.

I'm not going to import anymore. You get nickeled and dimed to death by customs brokers. If you want them here is where I got mine.
