as the title can this be done ?

and if it is possible is there any major wok to be done i.e lengthning anything or would it be the case of if i bought a fibreglass clubby front then it would fit the same way as if i were to fit a fibreglass round nose ?
somthing like this one..
clubby front

also are the fitments of items such as the headlights etc different to the roundy or will the roundy headlights fit the clubby etc etc ?

this may be a simple question but im completly new to all this..
cheers,

New inner wings to start with.

The its just clubby wings, front panel and bonnet.

I was going to do this a long time ago to mine.

Priced all the panels up to be about £500.

Oh and Im sure most 7" headlights are all the same mounting type... But they use the same headlights at roundnose minis!

easiest way to do it is to use a fibreglass front like you said.

actually you could get one of each and choose whoch one to have on depending on your mood!!!

if you do a fibreglass front then you wont need to chnage the inner wings

cheers guys...

i think i will be going the fibreglass route just makes life alittle easier and also i like the idea of getting the two done and having a choice of round or clubby..

only problm imight have doing that is when my turbolump is in thesetup for the clubby (intercooler) may not fit unde the roundy. have to have a think on that one but nice idea.

cheers,

you could also make a steel removable front from a pair of wings and a front panel, and a bonnet hinged as normal.
as its removable you wouldn't need to bother with the inner wings.

just another option

I'm just a little curious. Is there a mechanical reason you are interested in a clubby or do you just like the look?

[mini_jim]

the steel flippy was another option i was pondering but i think the fibrglass is going to save weight and then i dont have any rust issuesin the future also..

dklawson..

there is a mechanical reason as i am fitting a turbo its just going to make life easier fitting the intercooler etc under there but i also prefer the look of the clubby so i get the best of both wrlds..

cheers,

No they don't, Clubman has the sidelights in seperate lower clusters along with the indicators while Mini has sidelights in the headlamp.
