need a new front
Turbo Mini Forums

my car desperately needs a new front end as its getting more rusty every day! i'm going to need a full scuttle, pair of wings, front panel and a bonnet. what i would like to know is, shall i go for genuine panels? or pattern panels? if i use pattern where can i get the best ones from?

also i've been toying with the idea of a carbon or fibreglass front end, anyone got any opinions about either?

I have bought all my panels from m-machine. (formely trading as mini-machine). I think the fit has been okay. I think a flip front will never look as nice as a real front.

Pattern panels can be OK, it depends how fussy you are and what you are trying to achieve with the car to be honest.

Hadrian panels are pretty good, personally I'd avoid Veng panels like the plague.

not expecting perfection, otherwisei'd go for genuine panels,but all the same i'd still like it to look nice.
