So at the weekend i crashed my mini :( the bad news is i need a new front end, the good news is the subframe and chassis are all okay!

the main issue i have here is that the previous owner had put a mk 1 style front panel and bonnet on it... Would i be able to just buy the new mk 1 panels and use the normall wings for my car... or is there something else that needs to be done aswell??

any help and ideas please let me know!!

If you need to you can just remove the lip from a later bonnet. You will also need a rubber mounted front panel, but the grill should git in it fine.

As above, just use a later front panel and bonnet and remove the bonnet lip.

Van bonnet, has hinges in the right place for a Mk3 on shell, and no lip.
