where the bloody hell do you buy clubman flip fronts from without a panels already moulded in? or do you have to cut hem off yourself?

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

i reckon you'll get a nicer finish from the ones with the A-panes included tbh. i hate it when someones flipped the car and the arches don't match up properly along the a-panel/wing seam.

i think wil and ben are using the one-piece ABS front and it looked really good quality.

I had nothing but problems with SMB.. as have other members. We covered this in a previous topic.

you can get a flip front to meet the A panels no probs, just takes a bit more work to get it right.

If you're getting a two piece, then get one withA-panels on. you'll never want to 'flip' the front, just take it off for big jobs.

MUCH easier to ft and put arches on when you have GRP A-panels.

I'm thinking of getting one of these on BIR1. Would this front end fit if using a steel bonnet?

I can't help really, as we converted ours from a one piece and bought a seperate bonnet.

I'm sure a metal bonnet could be made to fit though.
