Just completed 300 miles after installed last week, just need a re-map. Happy to answer questions and give tips on the install, was far from straight forward :-)

Looks great from that pic, are you running this with the standard bumper?

Yes mate standard bumper, needed heavily butchering to fit,had to cut out the 2 mounts under the grill and cut away a large part of the strengthener behind the bumper, took several cuts and offering up. Also had to cut away some of the fog-light support all was fouling the pipes. Cross member and radiator surround also needed cutting to allow fitting. Can put some more pics up if needed

Wow.

 

I knew that some FMIC's needed a bit of work to fit, but nothing like this.

This is what had to be removed to fit the brackets :-) then extensive angle grinder and melted plastic fun

Well beyond my DIY skills. :D

i've just fitted the darkside fmic and both my bumper mounts went as well!

what are you doing about the towing eye flanders? im thinking cut the back support and angle it straight then weld a packer in to retain the standard screw in eye, , dont fancy having to strip the front end to get that pipe off in an emergency just to tow it :-)

In all honesty i haven't really though to much about it. knowing my luck i will need to use it one day and like you say taking the bumper off etc etc is a bit off a faff!! you'll have to let me know what you do so i can shamelessly copy it hehe
