Default bumper cutting lower front corners

Got a quick question. Has anyone else trimmed this area of their bumpers off? I know the plumbing for the headlight washers is behind it, but I'm very tempted to trim it off.

I cut my 2002 about 6" over from the corner. Not much to it obviously don't cut the washer fluid lines or the brackets for the fog lights. It did look a little mickey mouse IMO but I did not get a chance to go back and make it look good.

Default Couldn't resist

So I asked the question and went straight to the garage and started hacking... It was very easy and looks pretty sweet to me.

The plumbing for the washer lines were pretty easy to tuck in behind the bumper. All in all it took me about 45min to do, mostly because I failed to charge my dewalt batteries and my sawzall was useless... so I used a coping saw which probably worked better anyway as it gave me a great deal of control.

looks good, no harm no foul. I would consider trimming the middle peice too if there is a clean line to follow.

Pics Look greak... on the 00 the fog lights are lower on the bumper. I just can't bring myself to cut it. Does anyone have pics of another disco 2 99-02 with the bumpers cut
