it would proberly help if youcut around the edge i took the complete lip of mine then sanded it into shape most flip fronts need slight cutting sanding ect then it would proberly fit

Fibre glass fronts are a pig to fit whether they are cheap or expensive. they are always (as far as i am aware) mad bigger than they need to be so that they can be trimmed to the individual mini they are going on to. Every mini is different and therefore fettling is required to make these parts fit.

Sounds like your grievance is with the wrong people, dont think Paul manufactures these he buys them in. I use P&L for a lot of my bits and they are always most helpfull.
I would say USE P&L minis . And listen to the other guys about fitting because flip fronts have the reputation of being a swine to fit.

also with a lot of fibreglass flips the straps and pins hold in place most aint a perfect fit see the lip around the bonnet where it grooves in that is mainley exsess

No, P&L are based in Yorkshire, and speaking from previous experiance, I've never had anything but good service from them and really helpful when I've called them before. Occaisionally a product will slip through Quality Checking procedures. As fro contacting them, they're not always that quick on e-mail but are great over the phone

[Mini25racer]

yeah ok . you try and get this sorted. i bloody hate the place.everythink ive had of them is late or no good. ive fitted alot of fibre glass stuff in the past.. an im sayin once an for all.. that flip front will not fit . even if you cut it.. it will not fit... i paid for a flip front.

i have got seven palaces on that flip front alone out line.. well everyone is to there own in it .. i wont be using them again .. after i've got the strips for the arches an this is sorted..

ill be back to minisport. or minispares..

[Mini25racer]

tell you what hold the fone .. ill get all the pictures ... of every angel of that flip front and i will . put it up and you tell me if that will fit ..

[Road Runner]

Don't know if you can blame P&L minis as they probably buy them in from a supplier all you could do is ask them to replace it.

if you buy a pair of nike's from footlocker and they are wrong or faulty you don't complain to nike you go to the place you bought it from. its then up to the seller and the purchaser to decide if it is faulty or of poor build. if you have started to work on it you will not be able to exchange it or have your money back.
