hi im kinda new to mini world and seen some amazing projects on this forum. i was just wondering whether it was possible to fix a sportspack bodykit (think thats what its called) on a mini and have the bonnet and wings opening thing, think its called a flip opening or something like that, together. would the arches need cutting or something?

yes its possible, the arches will just need cutting at the 'A' panel join. As the sportpack kit has a return flange fixing it is ideal for this.

all the way around the top edge of the arch, there is a return flange allowing you to fix the arch to the body.
