After looking around for a steel bonnet and boot I found that they were more expensive than a fibreglass one from arc angels. I was just wondering how well fibreglass body panels for arc angels fit?
Thanks guys Jack

With regards to fibreglass bootlids in general, go for a double skin because they're more rigid and hold their shape better. The single skin ones can be a poor fit and could need additional fitting systems. I've also got a fibreglass bonnet which is a good fit but I don't know the manufacturer of it.

Be carefull when drilling fiberglass. it is as dangerous as asbestos.

Thanks guys I'm always over precarious when doing drilling and spraying and grinding but thanks anyway I'll make sure to be not protected than usual

My mini has had a complete arc angels clubman front end with A panels and removable bonnet for a couple years now.
Fit could of been better, partly because I rushed it but some issues were with the front itself.
The wings have to be stretched apart to reach the a pillars opening up the bonnet gaps and the bonnet seemed to sit on the scuttle lip.
I have just fitted a new scuttle and hope to correct all these issues.

Also one of the A panel lips seem to of melted? The car is black and did sit In the sun at work last summer, but I wouldn't of expected that.
