talk to smudger (you can find a thread by him in styling I believe regarding carbon bootlids). He does all sorts of carbon and FG stuff (very high quality and good prices). If he's unable to do a flip front he'll at least be able to refer you to someone who can.

Yep Smudger is your man, he supplied a friend with one and it looks and fitted great (Best Andy at ML motorsport has fitted he reckons)

There is a huge thread on MR showing the fitting................

not putting sumdger down in anyway.... his work has an awesome rep on the forum!

but just as another bit of info.... Curley also do a carbon fibre front end

ive got a 2 piece curely caron front, and its amazing!

an hour or so with a file had it fitting perfectly, its really nice,a nd its SO light!

mine cost £276.13 including VAT and postage.

its LOVELY!

only thing to watch out for it flooring it in the wet on roundabouts! i really do notice the lack of weight over the front

Are you sure it wasn't fibre glass miniman5? I've seen a FG front go for £26, really wished I'd bothered to bid on that now!
