keep your clubby front when you take it off, in case you buy a roundie later on....you can wack it on there for something different! 8)

It certainly would look quite whack with a Rover front.
External hinges, clubman handles.
It does have the rover tail lights tho.
Hmmm i could really go to town on this.
But realistically... do you reckon a roundy front on this is worth it?

Just add up the costs and see if it is a viable option....

If you're just gonna sell it, why bother?? If you're gonna keep it, try to think if you will regret it at a later date.

Oooooh - you can have clear lense indicators over your front wheels too - now there's something you dont see on many minis here..... keeps with your theme too!!!

Up to you.

Rover panels and roundie panels are exactly the same!!!
The only possible part that would be different is where the radiator sits, as the engine was moved forward slightly in the early 90's.

All the other differences are cosmetic....side indicators, grille, badges etc.
