Bumper holes.
 
Looking to see what others have done, Don't want to weaken the bumper structure.

Hole(s)?

My bad, forgot to say it would be holes behind the numberplate for extra air.

I would be taking the numberplate off when out on track.

That's it.
I just wanted to know if the bumper still feels solid. Didn't want to weaken it by cutting chunks out.

A bumper isn't really the strongest of things in any instance, i wouldn't remove plastic to the stage it felt flimsy, but you could quite easily take alot more out than muzizle has

Drilled holes and cut the crash bar out completely behind the number plate area, but left the ends in as they are used to mount the bumper.







Not flimsy at all. :y:

Also used plastic bolts in the top corners of the number plate area to mount the plate.

I am breaking my car so it is for sale if anyone is lazy.

How the F did you cut it all out?!?!

chompy 14th January 2014 13:22

I'm going to guess an air saw and grinder

Easy my good friend.

Thin piece of metal (in my case a long piece of meccano), mole grips and a blow torch.

Clamp the metal in the mole grips, heat the metal until it glows and it slices nicely through the crash bar. Can cut all the way through without cutting the outer bumper. :y:

For the holes I used a plasterboard hole saw :)
