Title: Parts to transfer
Post by: Zuffenhausen on 22 September 2015, 00:11:08: Hi
I've just bought a 2000 2.5TD CD Estate, I have access to a 1996 mini FL 3.0 Elite Estate.
Which bits can be easily transferred across from the Elite?

Mirror... Should be ok but might need wiring mod.

Seats are a non starter due to airbag/restraint differences, also heaters are controlled differently.

Otherwise you're looking at Wheels and body panels except bonnet/bumpers/headlights.

My 2002 didn't originally. But then I'm sure they were drunk when speccing mine, none of it matches the build sheet and theres a lot of random additions and subtractions, and I don't think the first owner did them...

2002 was year when no variable and no rain sensing wipers yet. This is what my 3.2 was, but I've put a learning relay in it.

But 2000, which is same as my 2.2 has variable. :y
