TurboTobz Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 As much as the bottoms nice I must say I actually prefer the uncut bumper. But either way both pics are nice mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 98 Look a bit boring without a lip. Bens bumper is awesome!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I liked my old one but the bottom one is more in your face, may go back to uncut again some point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 How easy was it to fit uncut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited June 16, 2014 by fremyjay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Fremyjay, how easy was it to fit the bumper without cutting it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thats what id rather do, what fmic do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I had a j performance intercooler, pushed the bottom of the bumper down slightly but fitted like a glove Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thats what id rather do, what fmic do you have?It's a J Performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Went on pretty easy, just a tiny bit of cutting. Just the pipes dangling to sort Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Looks good just need a splitter to hide the pipes at the bottom and fogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
