You got a new bumper yet or are you worried it'll worsen your performance?
Ye followed guides. Well i had to take out more screws than the instructions sed. Then after finally getting it on. Went to put the bumper on. Had to sacrifice my foggies then had to cut behind the 2 lower grills wer the fog lights are, a number of times. Then it went dark lol. So gonna have another go at it tmorrow. Did sam have to cut away at behind them grills?

I took mine off the other day to straighten it up as it wasn't put on properly after the FMIC was fitted. I ended up putting it back on wonkier.

I new what was doin bumper wise well Terry did we spent ages with the pipes tho started at 11pm and finished at 5;30 am then had a shower and fooked of to pod lol you shouldn't need to cut actual holes just trim the back and all the plastics should go back on
Wish i cud jus fook off to pod. But as it would yake me 3 hrs to get ther i giv it a miss ha. Il av another go tmorrow and let u no how it went. Hopefully it goes well and the bumper goes back on straight
Hi cupra r ash, you can fit the kit and keep the fogs by the way. I realised this after I fitted the bumper back on as your bumper is off you could still do it. I had to cut a very small amount off the back side of the bumper near the fogs, you can't see this by the way. I found the bumper went on easier than taking it off

+1 to what sam said. Got the same fmic myself.
Small bit of trimming required, but it works a treat once fitted
