| Post subject: | How much trimming is too much |
I'm trimming in the front wheel arch to make room so the tyres don't rub when flexed. I was wondering if you can go too far & thus weaken the plastic bumper. I recall some time ago a KJ member trimmed his 05 Sport quite a lot, it was cut fully off from below the recovery points to either side. Quite a tidy job, but I can't find it. I like the look of the front so I don't wish to remove too much if the plastic. |

I didn't have to trim much at all from the bumper. Just about half an inch off of the splash guard that runs on the bottom of the bumper. |

Yeah, I've trimmed a lot more than that so far. |

One day, I too will have a bar but not in the near future. Jdumont, did you put a cover over your horn in the bumper or leave it exposed. I'm thinking a load of mud would probably do it some damage. |
