I get what you're saying. You never know with Honda.

I have been told that on the inside of the bumper there is a line/structure that acts as a template for cutting fog light holes, if there's one on both sides of a UK bumper (so allowing for the same bumper to be fitted with fogs for both UK/EU fog locations) then I would assume the curvature is the same. I can check after I finish work if it helps as I imagine not many JDM/EU bumpers are free for cutting up :lol:

It's there. Apologies for the jobby pic, and it's oriented wrong - but you get the idea. (This is on the non fog side of my UKDM bumper)

That'd be brilliant Alex cheers. Doesn't matter about the colour :)

Will you need a reminder?

And thanks for the pic Donald :)

That's cool, I wonder if my BB4 has a mark like that on the front bumper for a parking pole :twisted:

:lol: sure a reminder wouldn't hurt. National meet okay for it or do you need it sooner?

I wouldn't mind it a couple of weekends sooner in the hope that I could have it sorted for then ;)

Not to worry if not though :)

As much as I can do lol.

Cheers bud. Yeah that area. Basically from the top radius down to the bottom and about 20cm+ wide. Maybe use the exhaust cutout as a guide if you've got the same rear lip.
