Nah, that won't fit at all. Only barbeque grills with the clubman. Big round holes are for standard Minis. A flitch repair panel should be sourcable, ebay?? We need to go to a show with a shopping list. David

I have never ever been able to get clubman inner wings from anywhere.If you do find anywhere that has /does them be extremely quick and get them as they are now a very rare commodity.Or if you can find another clubby cut out the section you need if you can find one that is still in good enough condition and I will piece it in for you.

It isn't just the supply of them but fitting the confounded things, so much has to be taken off then put back on.
You can always pop up and look at my clubman estates. I have one in a garage and one outside

gots a good quote from our bodyshop man from JC bates today =]
will take him a good few hours to do with the welding of the scuttle and the roof, 2 Apanals and generally making it as solid as it can be with a laqured respray.
a couple of months , it should be ready to put back 2gether.
although having some new wings would make this process a whole lot easyer, and maybe a little cheaper.
wink wink nudge nudge

Last time I did a rear subrame it took 2 evenings and 1 day. The advantage of doing it yourself is that you take more care and clean, grease or paint as you go. A garage will just swap itmes over and won't tell you if something bad lurks underneath - until it fails the MOT.
You are doing a good job there Ben. It will take time but the end result is worth it.

Ben Don't worry about the wheel sockets, put it down to wear and tear. If I dig out the receipt then I'll try and get them swapped on warranty. I mean, it's not like they weren't being used for purpose.
