LOL. Have fun cutting the bumper :wack:

Already done me old mucker - on and off the car about 50 times in fact to get it spot on but managed it all with a drill and a sander-attachment. :smash:

Sammy - its the Hybrid kit, but the guy I bought it off had modified it to sit about 2" higher than normal by moving and re-welding all the lugs for the mounting points.

did you have to cut that bar at the front (technical term)

Usually I don't think you have to but as this cooler was modified to sit higher there was no way it would fit with the bar in place. Bar doesn't actually do anything anyhow.
 
Sweet write up dude :D
