Flip fronts
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

This winter the mini is coming off the road and is going to be done up a bit as it's starting to look tatty. I want to put a flip front on it but am unsure weather to go for steel or fibreglass which ones would anyone reccommend?

Also i want to go from 13inch wheels to 10inch wheels has anyone done this? How would i go about changing the arches from sportpack to ones for 10inch wheels as obviously the wings have been cut to accept the 13inch wheels. Would i be able to weld a plate in and cut a new arch at the rear of the car?

Hope i make sense

Thanks matt

WooHoo Passed it's MOT!!!! One of the cars in The Portsmouth Mini Turbo Massive!!

Hi,
On the rear you just need to remove the sportpack arches and weld / fill the 4 bolt holes left behind.
Then fit you favourite 10" arches, job done.
As you're fitting a flip front, the front is already done for you!
Cheers,
Gavin :)
