Hi guys...

 

Aware of all the various opinions about these and the risks that come with them, but one will be going on my mini van!!! (I don't want loads of people telling me not too - I can always upgrade to a steel flip front a few years down the line!!!)

 

What I what to know is has anyone got one and if so, where from? What was the fit/quality like?

 

I know they all need some work to look half decent, but wondering if some are better than others, as there is a range of suppliers & prices!!!

 

the-arc-angels any good??? ABS??? Curley???

I also see minispares do one with the grille already cut out...

 

Any recommendations???

I have an abs one and it was a better fit than steel panels.

Arc Angels sell some proper nice panels and fit really well

I had a quick chat with arc-angels guy at MITP, he said they do a 2 piece fibreglass for £150 which sounded good to me. If anyone's got any experience fitting one some pictures would be nice.

Having had a poke around, I might go with the arc angels 1 piece front end - unless any other opinions pop up!!!
