There was a guide in one of the 'Keeping Your Mini Alive' mags a while ago.

Hi,

Have recently signed up and thought, ' may as well introduce ourselves '

We manufacture Fibreglass/Carbon parts for Minis.

Not 100% sure but the Flip front that's shown on the web site linked by ' Ollie180 ' could be one of ours. It looks very much like it and fits the same. Please see our web site.

Regards and Hello,

Les

Hi,

We supply Chris @ Z-cars with all of his fronts.
If you check out the link by ' Ollie180 ' it shows a 2 piece front, I can't say for sure if its ours but its identical.
