cant see any other way of doing it lol can imagine people trying to bog an extended bonnet lol!

On craig8s car there isnt a problem with cooling because of the big arsed bumper but if you use standard bumper and do this you could end up with over heating problems due to no cold air getting in... at the end of the day thats why the grill is there!
