russ78 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 all depends how want it to look buddy when i had my 96 spec i just cut a small amount off the back of the bumper to keep the oem look.or you can go exyreme and cut from as far as spotlight to spotlight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Happyb Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 na want it as tidy as possible! nice and suttle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 nice subtle but effective os probably move reg plate off to the side and be careful and cut out plastic where reg plate was nice and tidy imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Happyb Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 yea hard to hide the intercooler pipes aswell doh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 what ways have people cut the bits off behind the number plate? i want it to look neat but my access to equipment is not great!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Get yourself a dremel mate that's what I used very handy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommyn1991 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have done just that and tomorrow I will have a go at it I'll take before and after photos so everyone here can laugh at how shit I am at any sort of neat or precise practical work -.- wish me luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Don't go mad first off, I used a junior hacksaw to take the main area away then just take a few mm at a time with a dremel and keep offering it up to the intercooler and pipes untill there is a small even gap around the whole unit.All depends on what size intercooler and what angle the pipes are to get the best fit to the bumper.

tommyn1991 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't actually need to cut anything off, the intercooler fits fine with the bumper as is, I just want to take off the plastic Behind the number plate, then relocate plate to the near side, seems silly have a nice FMIC if it's covered up by the number plate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
