Hi there - fairly new to the forum so I apologise if this is something that is asked on a regular basis, I've had a look through a number of pages and am yet too come across anything.

My question is - Will the front end (I.E Grill front wings and bonnet) of a Clubman fit on a cooper frame?

Appreciate your responses,

George.

The inner wings on a clubman are completely different to roundnose so these would need to be changed, however if you use a flip front with the inner wings cutback then its not a problem.

You would need the complete front panel as well to do the conversion properly for everything to be welded together.

So it would be inner wings, front wings and front panel. Then of course the grill and indicators. I'm not 100% sure whether the bumper is the same for the round nose and Clubman.
