Any pictures of glanzas with a 98spec bumper and a front mount

[Ollieh17]

As above, ideally i wanna chop out as little as possible

[fremyjay]

Old one

New one

As much as the bottoms nice I must say I actually prefer the uncut bumper. But either way both pics are nice mate.

[Ollieh17]

98 Look a bit boring without a lip. Bens bumper is awesome!!

[fremyjay]

I liked my old one but the bottom one is more in your face, may go back to uncut again some point

[Ollieh17]

How easy was it to fit uncut?

[fremyjay]

Had a j performance one didn't cut anything out managed to get it on and slot bumper over the top, did push the bottom of the bumper down bit though

[TurboTobz]

Don't get me wrong with either one of the bumpers I'd not be looking to change them they're both great. The smooth optional lip is quality.

[Gainzy]

I don't see the point in having uncut bumpers with a FMIC, you want as much air hitting it as you can rather than block half with a number plate etc.....might aswell use a rx7 or an arc topmount

[fremyjay]

Never had any problem with the front mount behind the bumper, was only running the ct9. Maybe bigger specs then it would make a noticable difference plus theres alot more surface area than the small little intake on the bonnet so must be better than a top mount

[Gainzy]

Yeah I understand the difference I just don't see the point of moving it to the front and blocking some of it off. Yeah the top one's get alot of heatsoak but there good for 1bar and respond the turbo quicker due to the short pipe's.

[Ollieh17]

Id never ran a standatd topmount on a bigger turbo at 1bar lol. Plus its cheaper to upgrade to a fmic than a better tmic

[fremyjay]

Also when coming up behind someone its less obvious too a massive intercooler sticking out, but I see what your saying just didn't want too cut it out as the car had only just been imported and was mint

Fmic's should cover people's rear view mirror's lol topmounts are only good for ct9's for these only thing I hate is when the Fmic's go scruffy more risk of damage wide open

[Ollieh17]

Fremyjay, how easy was it to fit the bumper without cutting it?

[DavidAshton]

Keep it sleeper'ish

Can hardly even see my fmic here:

Also im not a foglight wanker, it was just going in for MOT and tester decided to switch all the lights on.

[Ollieh17]

Thats what id rather do, what fmic do you have?

[fremyjay]

I had a j performance intercooler, pushed the bottom of the bumper down slightly but fitted like a glove

[DavidAshton]

Thats what id rather do, what fmic do you have?

It's a J Performance.

[Ollieh17]

Went on pretty easy, just a tiny bit of cutting. Just the pipes dangling to sort

[fremyjay]

Looks good just need a splitter to hide the pipes at the bottom and fogs

[Ollieh17]

Yeh definetly man!!!prefer the less in your face look compared to my toms

[TurboTobz]

Keep it sleeper'ish

that front end... awesome. Don't know why people even savage 98 specs for an inter cooler

[Ollieh17]

I agree
