Hi there (hope this is in the right forum section)
Im thinking of fitting a fibreglass front end to my mini project,looking at the arc angel items i notice they do a front with the A panels built in as well as without, just wondering if anyone has used or fitted any of these and what they think or would recomend its the complete front by the way not the one with the separate bonnet wings etc. thanks

I would always fit a 2 piece front end. A one piece one makes all the simple jobs hard.

 

the A panels fitted make things interesting for fitting but not much different to any other.

the other issue is how long Arc Angles take.

I have heard they take a while its a z cars project so the engine is in the rear ijust thought that having the front to flip up or removable altogether would make access that bit easier

Access for what?

Where do you put the front?
