Currently on my restoration project, the car is a 1275 gt by logbook but can't decide wether to clubman front or the needed +90mm extended roundnose.
Both have pros and cons but I think the clubman is ugly as hell! Unless of course someone can show me a good looking one ;)

Not keen on the extended roundnose but i like equally my sons roundnose Erm and my Clubby Paddy.

If you wanted a round nose I would say you've bought the wrong car to restore. A round nose 1275 GT won't be worth anything near what it would if it had the correct front on it.
It's up to you of course.

personally i'd defo go for the clubman front end. i recon the extended front ends look really strange. but its your car so its entirely upto you

If its a GT then I would have to say Clubman so its not been changed too much.

I love 1275 GT's, so I've got to go with the clubby front. If it was just a standard clubby then I'd say go with which you prefer, but a round nose on a 1275 GT seems like a waste.

Plus a clubby gives you more options with regards to motive force.

Clubman all the way for me. Especially if its a genuine 1275GT.

Clubby all the way!!
.... There's so few of them left these days, that it would be a real shame to put a round nose on one, especially a GT!!

Wow guys! Really persuaded me now! I think what's put me off before is when I've seen them they have been the flat arch ones.
Big change of mind now haha!
