It is a hybrid kit. It took about 10 hours, although we had a lot of tea breaks!!!!
A lot of the time was spend cutting the bumper getting it to fit, worth taking your time though, am really pleased with the results!!!

Bought it from a guy on here on the 'for sale' section.

Don't have a link to where he got it from, but know it is the kit that Harvey sells

Have a look in the Technical section, there are a few threads in there about front mounts which he has replied to.

FMIC party's are becoming all the rage!!!!! A bunch of us did mine about 6 weeks ago. It took us about 3 hours to cut the bumper, trimming and then checking and then trimming again, I would of never thought you had to cut that much off!!!

We didn't take the wing off, but I can see why you did it.

for a great looking job, FMIC makes the car look even more aggresive in the rear view, people just want to get out your way

I opted for the number plate over the fog light evo style.

We used the pictures from your thread as a reference......they were very helpful, many thanks!!!!!

Decided to take to wing off to make it easier to get to, and we were worried about cutting into the loom between the wings.

Was suprised (and often worried) about how much of the bumper needed cutting away, but took our time and did it piece by piece.

The misses thinks i'm being childish when i'm grinning everytime I lift of the go pedal and the car sounds like Black Beauty after a hard run...but we all know that it's an awesome sound

There is some lag, nothing too bad though. Certainly makes up for it when the boost cuts in!!!
