ABS Motorsport do them, as with them all they are an ass hole to trim and fit well but when you have done it all the work pays off.

If it breaks... build a much faster one

ah thx, y i have a steel front but its looking like a lot of the seams are hiding rust & theres a few patches of filler etc in the valance i've not noticed before, so i'm thinking about running a fibre front until i can get/afford to build a new steel front.

There are a few people doing the 1 piece front end, but nobody doing the 2 piece, believe me we looked. We made our own 2 piece, but it was a pain and not a great finish.

if you get cheaper panels, i know they might be a poor fit but probably fit the same as a fiberglass panel anyway, there might not be much difference in price if you use your old bonnet. just an idea.*smiley*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

hahaha alex.

I paid this guy £300 to make me a 2 piece clubman, 6 months later nothing had been made, had to take him to court to get my money back, steer clear.

By all accounts there is someone who makes them, but I've never found them

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

i did find a company that made fibreglass fronts a while ago and they said on the site that they were happy to make one-off's and i *think* they mentioned 2 piece clubby fronts. I emailed em but the bloke was taking a break or something like that.

I'll have a look on my pc when i get home and see if i can find the site again.
