Default Prodrive Bugeye's with fmic

Guys show me your front mounts behind your Prodrive bumpers please. Also what mesh if any have you used to cover the core?

My fmic will be going on soon and ideally want to cut out the top plastic but unsure how I'd fix a piece of mesh to cover the area to save the core from stones etc.

Mine as its stands



Cheers
Martin

Halfords black grill mesh, fitted inside with about 1cm fold all around the remaining lip of the bumper (1cm is about all that's let of mine), then pinned with small nuts & bolts, two top and bottom, one each end. I've oil-blacked them so they don't show even close up.

Looks great mate. Ill defo be going this route, I assume everyone does it this way to protect the core? I did consider leaving it off but then am sure it'll get thrashed with debris

I had planned to mate but never got around to it before I sold it. Mesh is definitely worth it to not only tidy it up a bit but also to help stop stone chips on the cooler and possible splits as well.

No mesh, just a satin black APS DR725 core.
