yes you can, also can put a steel front on.
you will need to do the same bracing as on a round nose, the only diffrence is the inner wings and side/front pannels if you want to do it steel

If you do convert your roundnose to a clubman are you gonna post it on here as i would like to see how easy it would be to do.
Its good knowing the subframe is the same on a clubman and roundnose.

Ive always loved the clubman front mini had one when i was 15 had it for 2 years never finished it and sold it for 100 pound silly money really
but still want one know but to hard to get cheap so this seems like one of the easy options to get one again.

ive done it and yeah the inner wings are different which leaves a gap but if you can live with that when the bonnets off then i see no problem in doing it
