I'm currently restoring a Mk2 cooper, I have got a heritage front panel that i'm going to alter so that it looks original, I know a few of the differences but if someone could tell me all of them or has a picture to show it I would appreciate it. Cheers

Here's a couple of photos for you. The body number plate would be on the right hand side on a cooper.

The number was on the other side of the slam panel on early Mk2s. The indicator apetures/pressings are different on the repro panels as I remember if you want to be totally anal about it. :lol:

Here's another showing the body number plate. The first car pictured is an auto, its plate is the other side and larger. :roll:
