New bumper required?
Having just fitted a new front mount intercooler i now have a dilemma, the original fog lights wont fit on and i dont no whether to cut out the centre section of bumper to allow better airflow or leave as is.
If i cut out the centre section i'm ging to be left with great big holes where the fog lights where and an even bigger hole in the middle. (Dont want a chavmobile!)
Anyone got any ideas?
Impreza bumpers?
(Not sure what happened with topic title? can it be edited?)

It's a hybrid, same as the one you stock. 
Do you think i could just cover the hole on drivers side with the no plate, and fit fog light on passenger side?
Might be stupid looking, thinking out loud!!

The Hybrid GT fits with both air con and fog/spot lights. No problem. Refer to the installation unstructions as it is probably a fitting issue.
I have a 95 WRX here with Hybrid GT and PIAA Spot or Driving lights and we have fitted numerous other WRX, STi and P1 with fog, spot or driving lights, no problem.

I don't believe it's a fitting issue Harvey. Spent best part of 8 hours yesterday getting it sorted, and i haven't even started on the bumper yet!!
The fog lights are these
and are mounted here.
They wont clear the pipe feeding up into the wing.
I know you didn't supply the fmic so thanks for your help.

OK. Fancy fog lights. I have not seen any like that!!!
I think there is probably an easy solution so send your e-mail address to :
harveysmith1@btopenworld.com
I need to look for some photographs and send them to you but it will be late tonight before I am home.

Thanks for the help Harvey.Got your email today
I have already articulated the joint at the battery/water bottle area, however i didn't think of articulating the pipework in the area behind the drivers side fog light. Done that now and the foglight fits!!
Will post some pics of mods done for other legacy owners on here so they dont have the same grief i did.
(Edit) Heres a pic
Just got to trim the bumper down some more now and it should fit ok. I think i may still have a problem though, having tried the bumper up i think it may block the airflow to the intercoler a little too much. But i'll see what Steve Simpson says about the charge temps when he's remapping. If too high then i'll prob have to look at a different bumper.
So back to the original issue..... will impreza bumpers fit on my car?
If so which would you guys recommend. Pics would be helpful.
Big thankyou to Bob at Aztec performance for supplying the Hybrid, quality product at a quality price.
And big thanks to Jase at Area52 for sending down the cone filter and bits of pipework etc. Customer service at its best!

Ok got some pics of the finished job now. Modestly pleased with the result!
Had to trim about four inches in depth from the bumper either side of the number plate but after an hour or two i finally got it fitted.
