+1 to what sam said. Got the same fmic myself.

Small bit of trimming required, but it works a treat once fitted

+2

I fitting mine and kept the fogs, also i did not have to trim or cut any bumpers or the likes, it just trial and error, i even managed to fit my WMI pump down there.

I think the biggest trick to keeping your fogs is getting the correct 45c angle off the cooler inlet/outlet.

Here's my pipework
