Something like this would be better suited for my car, especially if i could get the whole front end..

Yeah im still pondering the idea, i want to still use the steel front, and mine will have a body kit.. All i need
now is a nice little v-tec
Also this one has no inner guards, and i think id rather them there as well to stop thing from getting flicked
up from the tyres

I'd like to do a flip-front on my Mini too, but it would run the deseamed look of it.

I asked my local engnineer about it a few years ago. The gist was it had to be a pre adr vehicle, and a collapsable steering colomn had to be fitted. Didn't matter if metal or fibreglass, and the bracebars had to be fitted.

I like this a lot.... gafmo posted it a couple of weeks back. Notice the 2 holes either side at the front of the subframe - the front panel must have shafts that locate into those holes....
