Default Best bumper for an FMIC (classic)

My FMIC and bumper are all fitted, but as time goes on, my view is that the hole to let air into the FMIC isnt big enough, and if I trim as far as I want, I will have about an inch thick of bumper going below the FMIC, which is probably too thin.

Any bumpers people have tried that have a large aperture for an FMIC (a Hybrid one)?

Cheers

Ive used both V3 & V6 bumpers. Both have fitted perfectly as long as everything has been cut properly.

Its not the fitting- its getting air to all of the intercooler, or as much as possible- I would always bank on having to trim the back of it.

I've just had my bumper replaced - still waiting for the splitter but the hole in a V5+ bumper is about as big as you can get really




Bit of a change from before...

Put mine into a bank at the hillclimb- dont drink caffeine based energy drinks when you are trying to set new records Worse than booze that stuff
