| Hi, as the title says I'm in need of a pair of front seam finishers for my mini. The guy who I bought the car off had "re-done" the front end and not replaced the finishers. I've tried Manna Hutte but no joy and the ones online are rather expensive so I thought i'd try my luck to see if anyone has any on here. Thanks in advance  | |

| What do you mean by finishers? Are they little strips of rubber or what?

| Hi Lee, They are U shaped strips of metal that cover the joins on the front and rear of the car  Hope this makes sense From a distance the look ok but if I wanted to show the car they'd need to be done. | |

| Hi Bill, where are you based?
Also how many clips would you think i am going to need or is that a "how longs a bit of string" type question? | |

| The answer to a bit of string is easy as to how long it is !! can anyone else answer it ?
As for the clips 6 or 7 per side.
I am based now at Manston, The Old Workshop Rose Farm, 01843 842842 | |

| What have I started.... I remembered Last night I bought a load of clips for my first Mini, had to sell that a few years back to pay the morgatge  That one was a real classic, 1973 in Sandglow Yellow. Got a pretty good idea where they are in the garage  | |

| Hey Bill, I've found my clips that I ordered a while back, I've got 20 of them so hopefully i'll have enough either way. Have you got a couple of the pattern finishers?

| Hey Bill, finishers went straight on. Had to widen the bottom of the nearside one a bit but nothing too serious. Thanks for your help! | |
