Your bumper is great idea. I have the same plan but with narrow cut out for exhaust and towing lug (closer to midle of bumper) and with hole for reg plate in bumper.

PS: Your car is really nice.

Saw this car at the Pod at the weekend, & was totally stunned. The longer you look the more you see. Thats the quality of the mods, they look factory. Unbelivable, if Carlsberg made S2's,
