    Oh right....it's like that is it?...lol.

    A one piece flip front would be seriously hard work, not only in actualy making it but also because you'd need to be able to mount it as well. Would you be just clipping it in place or where you thinking of adding hinges etc?.

    I only mentioned hinges as to add them would be more of a pain in the ass, without them it'll be a lot easier. Would just have to get a full front end and take a mould off it. (wings, bonnet, bumper etc). after that it's up to you how you choose to mount it, I'd just have to make sure it was reasonable well braced to stop it flopping around when you took it off.

    Er...good question, need to source parts first and of course think about how much this will cost YOU.., suffice to say it will not be exactly cheap.

    Oh and er....No, lol.

    I'm not expecting cheap... I can guess that the work involve would be massive, but I'm thinking if I got preference choice on design for mounting points, I would like to use the original hinge points and open the front end like a clam...

    Then I'll need you to modify mine once complete anyway....but that came come later...
