Great little eBay score today ;D - just got one and a half sets of NOS Mini nudge bars for £20 (2 rear's and one front) I guess some of you youngsters won't remember but these were all the rage in the '80's - I had them on several Mini's back then.  These are new old stock and have never been fitted but have picked up a few marks in storage over the years. I'll probably get them powder coated - can anyone recommend a powder coater near Woking? Came with original instructions - made by T T Lyle, Mitcham, Surrey. Quick Google search suggests they are no longer there. |

Aurora Powder Coating in Ash Vale is where my wheels will get sent when funds permit. It's where my uncle sends everything he makes that requires powder, the company I used to work for used them too, never had a single issue. www.aurorapowdercoating.co.uk/ |

Do you want them painted in 2k ? That probably would have been fine, just looked at the link on your signature and that bodyshop is only 1/4 mile from where I live, I was next door this afternoon getting an alternator from Euro Car parts. Aurora Powder Coating in Ash Vale is where my wheels will get sent when funds permit. It's where my uncle sends everything he makes that requires powder, the company I used to work for used them too, never had a single issue. www.aurorapowdercoating.co.uk/I've heard good things about them - a mate had his wheels powdercoated by them a while back Unfortuantely I might not need them doing now as I trial fitted them to my Mini today and ther rear ones are too small  My car is the very last of the classic Mini's - a year 2000 model so I guess the earlier one had a boot lid which was about an inch narrower?  Anyone want to buy some nudge bars??!!  |

Snip in the middle and weld in an extra inch (or so) of tube?
Be a shame not to fit them, as it will look very cool.
