Dribble,

Do a search for flip front and you're bound to find a number of topics explaining how to do this conversion! Not as simple as it looks really!

front wings, bonnet, front panel chopped these off with a thin cutting disc used 3 at 99p each,then chopped back the inner wings had to leave moer on the left hand side as the ecu would have been dangling in mid air lol

Is there any kind of re-enforcement for the cibies? They look like they're pretty hefty and could crack the fiberglass... ?

they are not as heavy as they look ,they are fixed behind the grill with a bar between the to spot light brackets and at the bottom with a bar behind the brackets as well if that makes sense.
