Question for people with flames
Has the flames caused any damage to your bumper, or have you protected the bumper with something?
Maybe a metal plate or some kind of covering under the bumper?

I've just heard stories from other people that part of the bumper has melted, so I wasn't sure if I could buy anything to protect this. Was thinking about something like the MG rover Z series have?

Mine are natural too, nothing like a bit of excess fuel on overrun
I guess that if your exhaust is close to touching the bumper then it may cause problems, but probably more from the heat of the exhaust rather than the flames.
How about sticking some temperature strips to your bumper and see how hot it gets?

The temperature strips are a good idea. The exhaust is almost touching the underside of the bumper. The only options I can see is to change the rubber exhaust mounts to slightly longer ones or put something on the bumper to protect it.
