What kind of car is that?

are you talking about the one above your post...thats an S2000 but if your talking about the picture that was flipped thats my soon to be mazdaspeed mx3 (hurry mdavis)

wow that front bumper is nice!

looking good you dirty fox.

that bumper is pretty u should cut the for light holes out and add some then it would be superb

Thats pretty damn easy for you to say that
But in practice its almost implausable, and heres why:

The complexity of the contours and large area you would have to remove
and refill, the proximity of the splitter and side light aperture is too close
I feel it would compramise the intergrity of the bumper in that area, wich I didnt want, nor did I want a bumper full of a filler wich over time could crack!

Sure no problem for a pro bodyshop but at the time I didnt want to throw
any more money at it, as it cost me nearly 250 pounds anyway, not including my time.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you put the mesh in the fog holes too? I think that'd be sexy... you could still even put a light behind it. 'twould be sweet.

The whole essence was to look 'factory modified' so that would
of looked like someone had just put some mesh behind the hole to me...

I contemplated spinning up an alu duct to go in, like this:


However with it being an elipse that would of proved awkward,
now I have a nice flat surface to work with i could hole saw a nice
round hole in the blank I fitted and fit a duct or light no problem

oh i didnt even know it was an mx3 bumber
