Looks very good indeed!! Like the exposed FMIC look (although i like to hide what i got, gives the BMW's and Porsche's somethig to scratch their heads about) lol.

Where in London are you from mate?

Yeah, the standard bumper hides it with a bit of trimming. I got Forge FMIC as per my sig picture, standard bumper on.

Nice bif Intercooler, s little like mine.
As for hiding it i think you will strugle mate as the pipes look quite big. I have a R32 bumper awating to go on and even thats not big enuff.
