thanks been a great help.

[AndreasGR]

my front end, bonnet, doors, miglia arches, are all made from ABS motorsport, allthough im not experienced with fiberglass i am something more than a very happy customer of ABS.

[mm-maller]

ABS it is then..

I had a message from a fellow mini driver.. and he says he had bad quality fitting with the front end.. and they were not co-operative..

Seems ABS motors is cheaper and they seem to have happy cutomers..

had you considered carbon fibre>?

I would say regardless of where you purchase you'll have some fine fettling to do to get a good fit, i know i did.

Good Luck,

Capt S

yea thats true..

What is the benifit with carbon fibre?/

[Bungle]

stronger than fibre glass and won't go rusty

stronger than fibre glass and won't go rusty

Yea it is stronger.

Fibre glass doesnt rust tho and its cheaper, however i don't think its quite as light weight as carbon.

Would be nice to have a carbon weav front end. but i don't have that kinda money.

any reason's why arc angels are more expensve than abs motorsport? is there a quality difference?

are you sure about this? I thought all ABS products are CFC and arc-angels are GRP? It seems to me ABS is more expensive due to this, unless I'm missing something? I'm also looking to buy a 2-piece front end atm, and AA seem to get a few bad reviews (long lead time, hard to contact). Has any one bought from Curley? I've had to email them for prices as for some reason they don't display them on their website!
