Busa - did you have to modify the PIU bumper to get it on over your FMIC mate?

Any chance you know the dimensions of your FMIC without asking you to measure it?

What's the Bumper made from - how easy would it be to cut away bits of the inside if needed to fit?

still no news on whether it's lower than standard? I can't measure my car as it's with Barbz at the moment.... Busa - is your car standard ride height or lowered?

I seem to remember that last time there was a group buy on these they were quite expensive + involved a fair bit of shipping hasstle...

Its no lower than standard suba from what i saw of Busa's it should be fine, you'd catch your cat on a speed hump and such like more likely...

I have to go over speed bumps sideways (ish) anyway because of an intercooler pipe which is below the undertray + I've got a 30mm drop on the car. I also live in london - so lots of speed bumps!

I've not got a cat - just want to be sure.

what are these bumpers made from BTW?

yeah i had to cut the top of the bumper away to fit the fmic but the bottom is ok

the dimensions are 470x300x68 mm (Core Size) / 680x330x68 mm (Whole Size)

also my car is lowered 30mm and just measured the bottom of the bumper to the ground and its 160mm

its made out of fibreglass but is well made and a good thickness

Anyway heres a pic from the front, and the good news is that, no, it's no lower than the standard bumper, which was a big issue for me too........

not too bad i just used a hacksaw and keeped changing the blade round to get into the corners, found if you cut right down the sides of the mounting points that stick up and across just infront of the holes the grill fits into you are somewhere near just a bit more here and there and its done
