MY PLAN OVER THE WINTER!!!!!

Is for the Car to come off the road and re-sprayed Audi RS4 red Flip front and a roll cage

SO the first thing i need help with is do you 'orrable lot have views on flip fronts and which fit better GRP or Carbon??????????

[The Matt]

I dunno what it is about this car Puddings, it always just seems, well 'right' somehow. I've only ever caught glimpses on various thread, but me like!

It'll be nice to see a project thread on it gonna keep me eye on this one!

[Puddings]

Thanks MMM been reading about your problems with the cage fitting so will be PM'ing you if i have any problems with mine (note to self buy roll cage)

Has FREak got a flip front? or do you have any ideas (search i know but i'm lazy )

PS will see you at the ring next year then if you are going

Arg! No! I want that centre console sooooo much!

[Puddings]

Been looking arround and cant see with the A-panels on, so it flips with the A-panels anybody seen these?? in carbon fiber?

[Pie]

Puddings, if your going to use an Audi colour, use either Solar Orange, or Sprint blue. Or if you can find someone willing to paint it, magma orange!

[The Matt]

Smudger at SMB composites (or just PM him off this site). He has flip fronts that include the A panels I think. Probably available in CF or GRP.

to be honest, I am thinking of going for a flip front soon, but I've got an all steel one that's already welded together. It may not fit too well first time, but I reckon I'd rather have a steel one on there.

I think it's an easier conversion than it used to be, brace bars are readily available, there are plenty of threads where you can see how others have done it too.

wow audi rs4 red mmmmm should be nice

there's lots of ways to flip front it, i will be going down this route later in the project so i give the thumbs up to it

[Puddings]

Just look at the shininess

Going to PM smuger about a flip front.

Next thing is i want a full safety devices roll cage any ideas???

[Puddings]

Smudger your inbox is full you will have PM

[jack_marshall]

Dont flip front it, nooooooooo.

I think it looks toooo good to flipfront it.

Plastic flipfronts just dont look good.

Unless you make it a stealthy steal flip front, that would just about keep me happy.

Cumoooon man, dont ruin such a lovely mini with a rubbishy plasticy flippy fronty jobby!

[Puddings]

THE ROLL CAGE!!

Do you think that minis sell with roll cagers or does it put people off bacause they think it will have been raced??

Also which is better weld in or bolt in???

Seen they are about £700 so are they worth it and would it put you off buying the car if it had a cage in?

[Pie]

As for cage bolt in. If you ever want to sell the car then you can always take the cage out and sell it seperatly or keep it for your next mini.

As for colour, sorry to put a downer on you puddings but thats an A3 in the picture. A4's and RS4's dont have those wheels as an option lol
