Does anybody know if you can avoid the ghastly cost of mk1 cooper s window upper mouldings, by purchasing a more widely available (and cheaper) set of mk3 ones and just chopping the verticals?
Has anybody ever done this?
Thanks well in advance,

Only if you want it to look ghastly - the Mk 3 door top has a different profile to the Mk 1 & 2.

I have also looked at this in the past but the taller Mk3 door frame means the top frame length and front radius does not match the Mk1/2 door frame.
