Personally i would bother messing with it without instructions and all the correct fixings.
bit out of order getting sent a fmic with no pipework.
not much use to anyone.

Hi Craig nothing new to report really. Fell out of love with the whole idea of the fmic after being messed about with the pipe work so decided ill just buy a new hybrid kit once I've decided on what engine to drop in

Thinking either a 2.35 or 2.5 fully forged build with a turbo like an SC unit. Again all money depending but this is defo on the cards

Hit a post parking and cracked my number plate so replacing with this on the bonnet for now

You've got too many views, you need an imageshack account

To smooth it you're best bet is to cut it out, smooth the lips and plastic-weld it back in flat before adding a skim of filler over it. Worst case a square number plate looks good on one side

Is imageshack like photo bucket Jon?

Wouldt want to mod a prodrive bumper too much with the amount it's cost me lol. May fit it and then see if I can get the bonnet plate to look half as good as Frayz haha

Yes mate, it's another free pic hosting site. Perrin do a bumper plate that covers the number plate mount. If I ever get a prodrive bumper I'll smooth mine but I quite like my one off front bumper at the moment

Just signed up to it and put a link to the pic.

I was going to have it cut before painting for the fmic but have decided to stick with the top mount for now. Missed out on some speedlines, want to get another set of winter wheels

What do you think to the bbs wheels Jon?

Pricey for winter wheels but they are really good looking OE wheels, unless you do a hub conversion and get the widetrack ones
