Bug please, i wanna see how much bumper has to be removed.

As far as i know there isnt a bugeye with both a Prodrive bumper and a FMIC.

Although that would be the ultimate picture, as thats exactly what im looking for

Thanks guys, my bumper as far as i know is rare and expensive and i dont want to butcher it too much if possible.

Also obviously you are running induction kits. How do you get on with them? Will it screw my MAF?

Thanks

APS 725DR

RCM Induction Kit.

Some modification needed to the bumper to make it fit

mafs are supposed to be much stronger on the newage cars ( they still have been known to fail from time to time )

I am running a Hybrid supplied and fitted through Harvey Smith.

It is an excellent piece of kit IMHO.

You can see pics in the following thread;

Not alot of your bumper left ther mark, Dont think i really wanna cut the bumper THAT much but i guess i have no choice

Rich just read through your project post, seems you had plenty of obsticles but overcame them in the end.

Please let us know how your mapping session goes, wishing you the best of luck mate.
