As the title says but how easy is it to do on a round nose? Also do they do a conversion kit with all braces etc?

Wayne, it's reletively easy if you go for a fibreglass flip front. Do a quick search as there are a few people on here who have already done it!

If you want it all steel complete with proper inner wings etc.. and all welded on then it makes little economic sense. It would cost you of £500+ on panels alone.

What i was thinking was a steel flip front so would it be just wings and bonnet with brace bars etc??

Sorry, should have been a little less specific! As long as you have a flip front it's easy! 
Steel or FG!

if you are gonna fit a steel flipfront you will only need the wings and front panel as the inner wings would get cut off etc

Slam panel,slam panel support, headlight panels, bonnet,wings and front panel if you want the whole lot and to keep a separate bonnet.

What sort of braces will the flip front need due to being steel?
