For inspiration have a look at my set of Clubmans on flickr....it might give you some ideas ! the main consideration IMO is wheel size....some arches look better with bigger / smaller wheels.

Group 2's ar emy favorite !

[attachment=100497:31102009308.jpg]Sportspack but take a bit of playing with to fit on the front as not the same curves as a roundnose wing.

Glad you like it ! IMM was excellent...

I'm getting strangely drawn to clubbies....not just becuase my log book is a 1275 GT, although the previous owner put a round nose on it D'oh....trouble is, front end panels to put it back to square are very expensive (i would need the inner wings doing as well.....at least the guy did it properly when he swapped the front end !).

I'll keep my eye's peeled for you again at further shows during the season...

cool, ill be at SMD, mini in the park, and, ermm, i cant remeber what shows are left lol.

its sad to hear a 1275 gt having the clubby front cut off, but it used to happen alot.
and your right about the panels being expencive, that why im repairing my clubby estates front end rather than replacing.

apparently the price is something to do with bmh moving and loosing the tooling or something or other, im not sure.

m-machine do pretty good repo panels tho
