So what do you guys reakon ?
I really fancy a steel one but all my front panels are shot, can't find anywhere that sells them, Its a clubby front I want by the way.
I`m waiting for a reply from Smudger (Miniinfinity) for the cost of a clubman 2 piece.

personally, id DEFINATELY go with a 2 piece fibreglass front.
i had a prang last year, and needed a new front.
i went for a 2 piece (round nose) carbon fibre front from curley uk, and im SO happy with it.
i wanted a front without a-panels, as i wasnt sure how a front with a-panels would work on the door gaps, the only down side to this is that you have to cut your arches....
either way, id definately get a composite front, the weight saving is massive, and despite what people say, if you put the hours in, the finish can be awesome!

Being a two piece must make life easier as well.
just use the bonnet for simple jobs and if a part gets damaged you won't have to replace/repair the whole lot!

yup, forgot to add that!!!!
i wouldnt ever get a 1 piece front, imagine having to pull the whole front off just to check the oil and water!

I've found that its quite easy to check oil and water with a 1-piece front. It flips open very easily, so you can check the same as when you want to check with a bonnet. BUT, you dont crack your head :tongue:
