If you wanted a FMIC would you be prepared to sacrifice your foglights for a better pipework, core & installation?
yes or no?
Yes, since the fogs are 99% useless with the old bill waiting to book you at every available moment!
Yup, it'd happily ditch the fog lights if I was in the market for a new FMIC.
Yep. Dont think i've switched them on.

I agree with everyone else, front fogs aren't really used, what you got in mind Bill? I take it you mean the pipe work would run behind the mounting positions for the front fogs????

yep pipework is a priority, gonna take my fog out for a air feed i think anyways :)
Yes, the fogs can go if the mesh can stay.
What do you have in mind?
I need an intercooler for the summer.
Yeah would lose them as stated hardly ever get used. Really want a fmic what sort of costs you looking at?

I would if you could still keep the honeycomb grill.
Would'nt really want to ditch both to accomodate an FMIC.
fogs can go but would the fmic handle 400bhp? just an idea if i go gt28rs

The thing is - an IC that does 400bhp, is unlikely to be suitable (too big) for 2x0bhp
Considering the moaning people made at removing the mesh - I wonder how many will really be OK with the fogs.

Bill are you looking at improving on a FMIC that is already around such as the one available from Forge or are you considering a completly new system????

i recon that if you took them out but made up some glass to put in there so it looks like they are still ther would be better, as the core wont be behind there will it? i.e keep the front looking as standard.

This is a survey to canvas opinion on fogs only chaps. The thought behind it is for BT cars however yes. Not too big for K0x turbo's tho for those who are planning bigger and better things.
keep the feedback coming. it all helps refine what customers really want and are prepared to live with or not.
all appreciated so far. nice one. :)

i managed to get the top half of the mesh back in with my FMIC, quite happily. I wouldnt be fussed without mjesh, looks good i think. :)
My fogs are out as of today anyways, one got cracked! :D
