Looking for ideas for a new front bumper for FMIC. Do you have any suggestions?

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

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.

Please make this happen!!!

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.

Jimbo +1 please

I love that blue coupe

I love that coupe too..

Nice project. PM me if you fancy professional automotive design input on this.

Im guessing its not to your taste Mariusz?

I really like the front end of the Jaguar c-x16. If something like this could be designed for the coupe I think it would look stunning. The headlights are a similar size and shape so would have thought it would be possible to make a bumper in that style, possibly in combination with the bonnet from blue coupe above posted by Jimbo.

....and complemented with the DBS style bumper on the rear

No.. no.. I really like it.. although it is not subtle bodykit in any way.. This project needs the bonnet kit too.. I'm not a fan of side skirts and boot spoiler, is really ugly..

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.

Not a bad idea Biggenz
However it would have to be very very tastefully done

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.

I would buy that car tommorrow! Is that real???

Yes... Every now and again this question pops up, so I'll link back to the original thread again.

YES, it's real. And apart from the narrower bonnet I love this. (Coming from someone who doesn't like aftermarket bodyshitskits.)

Standard with a bit of trimming looks pretty good imo.

Mariusz I think should stop messing about with random diffusers and MAKE that car! Looking at old feedback you would certainly get the sales to compensate for the development! Im first in line btw

I think I managed to get decent FMIC cooling here:

In september I swapped the reg.plate for a smaller sticker type:

Very tastefully done Per.. i like it

Kayjey, I'm really open for suggestions..


What do you mean mate ?


Nice bumper Per, but a bit too conservative for FMIC.

Quick sketch.. a bit modified..

I'm with you Kayjey, I don't usually like body kits but this one looks (minus the rear spoiler) really good.

I'd be tempted to buy a second coupe and do this as a project!

Oh, looking good by the way Mariusz.

Good start but dont forget the rest! ie skirts etc but how would you do that bonnet!?

It would be a glass fibre bonnet I would assume.

For your personal taste, yes, not for the cooling. thanks anyway.

I'd buy it today, so I'm afraid you'd miss out!
