The front bumper is the C-West bumper cant remember where I brought it from but if you google it, you will find it.
I don't have a FMIC just yet, the is the first thing I am buying after my wheels and coilover have been brought. However to fit it the front bumper will have to be adjusted like most front bumpers do.
I am doing a lot of changes to the bumper anyway as I am making my own splitter and I am getting rid of the fog lights to use those sections as cool air feeds. One will be for the air in take and the other will be for the oil cooler (Im hoping to get some longer hoses to i can fit it on the N/S of the car)

Well here you go peeps, hope you like. There is more to come yet.
I have fitted the coilovers now and she is very low, maybe too low little see how she drives over the next few days. I will get some pics later today, Its was to dark last night and I was rushing this morning. Also had a few more goodies arrive. The eagle eyed on here will notice the window strips are missing but the are ready to go back on now.
