bumper inserts
« on: 02 July 2012, 12:32 »
Anyone know where I can get front bumper inserts from, Intercooler is going on soon and I wanted to put something in the main front one that'll stop it getting smashed with stones, but still allow it to get the air flow.
Same for the side ones (dont want to leave them out as it looks  :sick: )

Cheers

Its just the standard bumper, but with having the intercooler put in I want a mesh type middle insert to stop the stones but not the airflow.
I have standard ones already but THS recommend leaving the middle one out for airflow, thats fine until a big stone hits it  :shocked:

just cut the back off the middle one so it fits in even use some sickerflex or tigerseal on the back of it so it stays in place i know the type of mesh your thinking of but cant seem to find it on ebay with out it having to come from usa

I just trimmed mine right down, fit fine and I doubt very much it's affecting airflow that much
