Should I keep my mini with it's roundnose or get a Heavy Duty clubman front end? I am thinking of either doing an engine swap or swapping it for a 1380 at some point and maybe even turbo it, would love your thoughts!

Looks perfect as it is. Would a turbo not fit under a standard roundnose bonnet?

If you're doing an non standard engine swap I would say clubby for the room, as you have more choice for rads/ altinators ect, a round nose makes it very very very tight indeed for some engines.

However if its an A-Series, defiantly keep is round nose as thats it's "true" form

Even though I own two round noses, I far prefer the Clubman front, and mine shall get one eventually.

With yours though, it looks far too good to cut about and ruin imo!

It looks good but if you get up close and look under, then you'll understand how much rust is just waiting to push through the paint! The wings are starting to hard bubble under the headlight

Clubbie every time much more room and even V-tec and K-series conversions fit in easy,

 A turbo conversion will go under yer roundie and think tou can buy manifold adapters for the turbo to make I more accessable.

the only thing I can think of is bulkhead conversion maybe if you go go webber.

or leave this one alone and  buy another for mini for a  clubman best of both worlds then
