Title: Hood rubber buffers
Post by: ADRay on March 28, 2026, 02:20:16 PM
Looking to see if anyone has a good domestic source for the rubber buffers that the front of the hood rests on that attach to the rail above the grille.

I went to get some from Mini Sport USA, and they must be shipping from UK as the shipping estimates started at $45. For $6 worth of parts.

Looking to see if someone has spares or if they know of a Dorman part that works. Thanks

wow, quite the difference. I didn't look at MS, assuming shipping would be just as bad. Ordered, thanks

Spares will put stuff in envelopes while Sport charges 45 bucks for a box.

$45 for a small box seems just a bit excessive.....

It absolutely is. I needed circlips recently and wanted to order from sport but they wanted 45 bucks to ship stuff that's easily put in an envelope with a stamp for $5
