You need to make one that surrounds the FMIC so the air has to go through the FMIC and not around the sides. This way you will get better cooling to the FMIC.

Needs to be descrete IE Not a bumper with the front chopped off showing the whole FMIC. I think someone did that once on a Porto Coupé... Im sure it worked well however it wasnt to my taste
Less is more...
Ideally you need two proper ducts - One for the oil cooler and one for the FMIC

That blue coupe is one of the worst ones ive seen ,bonnet looks so wrong IMO.
Not sure the front bumper would look any better with standard bonnet and fog/side light unit either.
Maybe keep the middle bumper opening/vent and add Aston 0ne-77 or DBS type side vents to it for the oil cooler and air filter if running FMIC. along with your DBS style rear bumper . Youll have a Aston kit
Maybe make/play with cada type grill to add to it .So all the front grill mesh metrial is same too.

I've just had a great idea. Since there is no new Coupe on the horizon from Fiat, why not design a completely new bodykit that would change the complete look of the Coupe?? Even if you need to do work to the bonnet etc. Something like that blue Coupe. After it's done, you need to really look to see it's still a Coupe.

Sounds like a coupe but not a coupe bodykit .
Really most kits imo dont suit the coupe. Standard or LE/Plus or at a push zender are the best . Time for a update may be good if done right.

Mariusz, want to work together on this? PM me. Would love to put some thought in this and make something that looks great and works well with a FMIC. I currently have a 20vt sitting here with a Pro Allow FMIC so I can check the size and location and see if we can make something with good cooling path. I have some ideas in terms of that. Kayjey, I'm really open for suggestions.. Nice project. PM me if you fancy professional automotive design input on this. What do you mean mate ? Nice bumper Per, but a bit too conservative for FMIC.

Nice project. PM me if you fancy professional automotive design input on this. What do you mean mate ? I'm a car designer and Class A CAD surfacer so if you want any help putting something together I'd like to offer my skills. I'm aware that you might want to keep the project under the AutoDS name but many hands make light work and all that.

It would be a glass fibre bonnet I would assume. ..no no, I think, is possible to do "bonnet lips" only to do modification.

Really, do you think they will blend in and look nice enough, I can't see how you'd get a seamless look? 1. It looks a bit sh*t, and 2. Is the designer himself asked or even informed? You are the minority here Per!

Per does make a good point RE the original designer... However these are REPO kits just as the zender and le look ones probably dont have/need permission from Fiat... I do like this though...

Although i dont like the blue coupe , everything about it!!!
i would like to see this new bumper on a coupe with std bonnet , i would not buy it for myself . But still like to see. As for bonnet lip surely a grill/sidelight cover would be better still be seem though.
unless the original designer/owner or who ever made it , copyrighted it and any other versions not much he could do. Although after all that effort if it was me i would be bit pissed but also nice to know its so wanted feeling.
And does look like there has been some small changes to the original blue bumper.

Bonnet lips? Really, do you think they will blend in and look nice enough, I can't see how you'd get a seamless look? Yes, bonnet lips.. You have to fit it as the bonnet vent.. Of course, we can do whole fibreglass bonnet too, but this wil be more expensive option.. Per.. can you not clutter up this thread ? Thanks.. Copyright for automotive parts ?

I know i said copy right or patent pending but my point about it is , you have to have it wrapped up so tight and cover lots of angles . I never for a min thought this bumper or body kit on blue coupe has a copyright .

What about the Aston Martin or Jag styles like have already been said in this thread. Doesnt have to be direct copy .
But as the coupe and Aston have a similar front end shape, could work out well. If i had photoshop on my laptop i would throw some thing together but i dont.

This was mine, fitted the fmic bob on. It was almost flush to the bottom of the bumper and it went into the top grill. the width was good as well

Nice but unfortunately for us Brits and our number plates the size of a house, not much use I was thinking the same could always remove the number plate for the track though. Would it be of any benefit by cutting the holes of the original bumper slightly bigger, but only by a few mm as not too loose the look too much?
