Can anyone recommend a decent 2 piece fibreglass front with integrated a-panels. (i want to keep the seam)

Fibreglass is gay. That Mike Race is a bad influence

Out of interest, what is your rear valence made of?

Keep the steel a panels, ABS Motorsport is really good for service and fit. Don't whatever you do ever ever go for a one piece, the one on my mini is doing me tits in.

A one piece is fine, but you would need to hinge it from the bulkhead/inner wing area to make it practical

I duno if iv just had bad luck but im on my third and final front end now all from different suppliers. I managed to make all of them fit pretty well for a plastic front, but the problem iv had with all of them is the gel coat has lifted away from the matting and crazed.

This has happened on all three fronts now, i dont know if i was just really unlucky with them, or if there all crap?

They all seem ok for about 6 months then the crazing starts, the first front i ground it right off back to the matting, and filled back to shape, but the others i just ground back and ended up cutting them up.

The same thing happened to two of my fibgerglass bootlids.

The only pannel it hasnt happened to is my fiberglass rear vallance.

Ill defo not be buying anymore fiberglass pannels unless i can see some evidence of some that will actually last.
