Its illegal to cut or grind the steel reo bar that supports the front panels.

I don't think your moustache [if its the bit holding your number plate on?] is the reo bar prob just FRP or plastic, but why don't you just paint that bit black? The reo bar usually sits a bit higher than that, its above your blinkers. If your on P's then your car is not a turbo so it won't have a FMIC so there is no need to cut or mod anything.

Usually you have to mod the reo bar to get a fatter FMIC in behind it. You shave off approx 5 mm from the underside lip but the top lip is usually never touched.

It's not only illegal, your insurance company will wipe you.

How many people are there, though, that run an FMIC without cutting the reo? They just don't fit unless you remove your AC parts to fit the cooler more frontwards. My old car had a very hacked up reo, insurance didn't really look at it either when the car was written off.
