i would relocate the plate or get a slightly smaller one, and trim the mounting plate slightly to aid airflow. personally, i'm not a fan of great gaping holes in bumpers, hence why i didn't cut mine out.

What is the pipe out the side of the bumper for, is it functional or just style?

have you had a quote from your insurance for the FMIC with you as a named driver Cal?

not being funny, just alot of insurance company's get funny with insuring people with FMIC's and the last thing you want is to hack away your bumper to have to take off your FMIC to get insured!

only part of the car thats an investment, all the rest just goes down the pan :homer:

thanks dane :)

Mk1 bumper does look surprisingly well.... bit more detailed which ive only just noticed....

Yeah i know mate as with everything that we have spent on our GT's it will never be recouped accept yours as it is alot rarer than mine for example :), not everyday you get a 3SGTE lump pop out the bonnet.

Mine is cut up aswell, I cut the lot of mine out though to get air to my filter.

I do need to turn it around the otherway though.
