Day 14
Another evening of bumper trimming tonight, mostly using a small sanding air tool to help get the job done.

Again, nearly all of this clearance issue comes from the driver's side end tank where it's just so close to the condenser but I obviously want an even line all the way across which is taking time but will be worth it when it looks good I feel.

If you look very closely in some pics you can make out the black line we measured and marked out as guidance when trimming this all back.
Before any major trimming (now sits at 40mm):

These still require a lot of tidying up but here's just some of what we've taken off so far:
