bumper cutting and cross member for fmic

[adam kelly]

how much has people cut from there back of there facelift bumpers to fit a fmic to a 130 as iv had to cut alot which means no fog light on the drivers side.Might put some pics up soon

some have managed to mount it without losing the fog light...i think it depends on the pipes you use

 

[Tom.]

You need to pull the lower pipe up t the top one and secure it with cable ties, if your wanting to have your fogs in. There is a half circle cut out, in the modified crash bar, which allows for this pipe to be pulled up. That should have meant you didnt need to cut too much away.

ok thyen few mins just loadin them up not got any of the bumper cut theo but my so called crash bar has been played with alot lol

 

[adam kelly]

right i had to cut the box section out more but if i left it it would of been to weak if i has a crash so i reinforced it a bit like this

then tided it up a bit with some nice edge-in and some paint.

i also removed the bits what were touchin any part of it.

then on the slame panel there was a lump which was squashing the silicone pipe so i removed it


if anyone needs any info i can try and explain if needs be


what ya think a bit ott i no

then i was thinkin of gettin some more air to the top of it so cut this out aswel dont really no if it will work theo.

as ya can see if chopped alot of the end as this was touchin alot

 

[Tom.]

Christ, youve gone to town on that.
