how do I fit my GREDDY fmic with s5 bumper

I'm trying to fit my greddy fmic with the stock s5 bumper. I've cut off so much already, I don't think it will fit! Anyone done this before, pics, tips?

it's the greddy fmic kit. I've cut so much out of my bumper and it still wont fit. I cut out all the bottom grill, it's to a point it looks like I wont be able to keep the lower lip portion. It's going to look like my car is trying to eat the floor

I'll try to get some pics up. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have tocut the bottom section of my bumper off. DOH!

you would not even be able to get the IC mounted let alone connected with the crash bar in.

Yes, of course I did. Origionally i had an aftermarket bumper with my fmic. I ewnt with stock s5, but it looks like im going to cut the crap out of it and buy my buddies half bumper lip body kit thing.

I'm not a newb. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it. I'm more than sure it can't be done without cutting off a good amount. I'll try to get pics up asap. I need to find the wire to connect my camera to my comp

there are plenty of pictures of s5 bumpers with greddys, I am on my 2nd s5 bumper, the first one came off my coupe which was already cut for the IC so it went right on, but now I have a newer bumper and I still have to trim more out.

The fog cut outs and the lower part of the center cut out are the areas you need to pay attention to.

My new bumper still does not fit yet in this picture, I need to trim a little more to get the bottom to come in towards the car, thats why the lip is hanging off, still test fitting it with this bumper, not driving it.


old bumper that did fit:




new bumper:
