Yeah not the prettiest thing

I seem to think that these easy fit/fix fronts and a few other types/styles were available in the late 60's early 70's for young mini owners who had stoved the front of their mini in. Don't know who made them. But I bet that someone on the forum will.....!

Here are some other types/styles which were available in the late 60's early 70's...
