Just get a clubby one!
I'm positive Steve has a roundy one there. Okay, so it has a big ugly scoop on it but its fibreglass, so easily modified.
:D

If you don;t have the room to modify a fiberglass flip front. How do plan to achieve the conversion. I'm not having a go, just a serious question. Are you having someone do it for you?

Well if you are going to buy a Minitec frame and driveshafts etc etc. I wouldn't think it'd be too much more bother to order a front with it too.

well i thought that... but i thought id see if there was anything local..

Yeah I get ya, but extended fibreglass fronts here are very rare.

Most people here would just use a Clubman. Even then room is hardpressed. I've got a big front spoiler/body kit for mine to make sure the intercooler isn't hanging out the front!

But I understand that you want a roundnose front, fair enough have fun!

are these kits legally fittable over here for a road car??

From looking at it, not really. But where there is a will there's a way. Needs more engineering approval I guess. They look like they extend the track of the car up front a fair bit, so I don't know. They also change the suspension setup which will require engineering as well. The less you change the less work needs to be done I think.

<edit> To me though the road worthiness of it is not that big a deal. For my car it should be a road car but if it all gets too complicated, I'll finish it as a race car. Would be fun for hillclimbs I reckon.
