Looking mighty fine and too hard for a 33 ;) If you want a blow by blow on removing the bumper....
1) Remove front grille and three plastic clips into bumper supprt bracket.
2) Remove both indicators and the small bolts that are hidden behind them.
3) Go to the wheel arch. Look towards the bumper and you'll see a small cut out with another small screww, these are the last two. Remove these and just allow for the N1 vents if you have them as these can be a little awkward to work around.
When you put it all back use cable ties. I do and I can remove or replace the whole bumper in less than 2 minutes!

ps~ if we are getting exclusivity on purchases, can I get the same for my latest carbon purchase :D

No one in the UK is allowed a Top Secret diffuser for at least 5 years! :lol:

As for fitting those canards if you really dont fancy taking the bumper off you can get bolts which have rubber grommets in the end which expand in the hole you have drilled so there is no need to get to the back of the hole.

I hope that makes sense?

A lot of canards come with these so you dont have to take the bumper off.

I will definitely be getting a set of these now. 8)

I am not sure where they can be sourced from but Stu had them on his canards when he fitted them but they came with the canards.

You can get them from motorcycle shops etc. They are called fairing bolts :)

Hi folks ...Well i think these intakes are a variation of the Tomei one looks the same but with the deep hole cut out and the light hole set in ...they look nice but I wouldnt want to drive in the wet with it ...

the original has a reasonable sized inlet to the filter/s and you can put a small defusor plate there so if it does rain it will still flood the induction area with air but the rain water will be forced down away from the filter ..

cheers Gaz
