You have to trim a bit of it off to fit the forge front mount so I'm sure you can cut away some of it with out issue, But don't take out to much you may compromise structural rigidity.

I'm sure that the light panel adds something to the body if you where in an accident, But just be sensible with the grinder as said above.

Thanks for that guys feel alot better about taking chunks out of it , just wondered as the walls look like they are there for the slam panel which in turn keeps the front rigid and also holds the bonnect catch. Oh well can always get them rewelded if somthing goes wrong.

I've cut part of the area you're talking about away for my intercooler pipe work. As long as you give it a coat of paint afterwards to stop it rusting it'll be fine ;-)

That looks like my engine bay at the mo lol. Although I'm struggling to work out what's going on in your bay as you have what looks like a silicone pipe where the turbo elbow should be.
