Not really, I have never used one to buy any MINI parts. I've used pick n pull in the past for other vehicles. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
Exactly what I was gonna say. The 02 I bought for my 15 year old daughter. It had some damage to the under panel and oil pan. Wasn't to bad to fix. Finding the parts was the hard part. Let me ask ya. Do you have thoughts if keeping it for yourself?
So, updates since the purchase: 1. Driver side mirror 2. Passenger side mirror 3. Passenger headlight bulb 4. Passenger marker light bulbs (front and back) 5. Driver side taillight 6. Speedo 7. Shift knob insert (checkered) 8. Hood support struts 9. Tires 10. Alignment TO DO: 1. Repaint white holey wheels (corroded from obvious lack of cleaning off brake dust) 2. Replace lower grill (it's cracked) 3. Driver door ding (Seems like an easy fix) 4. Roof top hail damage (bottom of my priority list) 5. Interior deep cleaning (gotta get rid of the previous owner funk) 6. Investigate minor oil leak (maybe one drop a day, very minimal) 7. Fix passenger seat (won't recline) I think that's it for now!
Good start. I'm done for a while I think too. Next is teaching my daughter how to check fluids and tires. She wants white tires. I said get a job lol.
