Watch the spacers Adam... I had 8mm H&R spacers with H7R springs and the tyres scrubbed massively. I wouldn't advise going over 5mm on the front mate.

Be able to get a nice set of tail pipes out the end if it works!

Ah bugger, thats not good to hear.... I'm gonna do another test fit

Got the bumpers from Ebay

How are you planning to make the rear bumper narrow enough to fit.

The length of the sides will make it hard to get a good line by bending. It's hard enough this way on the short over hang of the front one.

Cut n' shut with S4 bumper is an option I guess...

I was going to slice a section out of it (however much is needed to line up with the arch), fiberglass it back together and filler/smooth it.

surely plastic welding would be easier

agreed . plastic welding is better than fiberglassing. buy a decent 100w soldering gun. works a treat.
