I assume this is a simple and straightforward conversion with just a front end ?

If I was to aquire a clubman front ended car, cut off the front, and sort a removable round nose front end, is that all there is to it ?

Prob a stupid question, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Of course, I probably wont be able to afford it anyway !!!

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

yep £176 delivered (with my 20% minifinity discount) from abs motorsports. in the process of fiting it as we speak, well it probably take a few days. its very thin.

I had a really thin one, and now I have a really thick one, but seriously, I think its quality not quantity. The thinner ones seem to be a high quality in my experience ??

yep very thin you can see the light thro it! quality seems very good. but it is a typical fibreglass part. ive only just started to fit it and im having a few fitting problems but ill get there eventually. its the ones with the built in a panels and i think i may have to add a bit at the bottom. if your after a concours finish then stick with your metal one.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
