mk2 rear bumper. To fit 4" twin exhaust

Ok I have gone and purchased a supersprint twin exit exhaust system. I also bought a full storm body kit. Now that has caused me nothing but trouble but that is a differant story. Now the exhaust system i ordered was a 3" but because they had non in i recieved a 4". Now i am happy with that. I meen what is in an inch. Till it came to fitting my rear bumper. Now this is the second rear bumper i had to recieve as the first one i recieved was warped, sent it back and the new one is also warped so i am gonna have to make it fit. Or so i thaught, till i realised i can't get my exhaust through the little gap. Ha Ha. So my question is, is there any bumpers that are available for the mk2 that will fit a 4" twin exit exhaust system?? Or has someone on here got that done already. Cheers.

I actually thaught of that but i am unsure. I thaught about just widening the gap to fit the exhaust but then it is too high, then i thaught about droping it below the bumper but then it is too low. Then i thaught about cutting the gap either side for the exhaust but it looks poo. Then my only other idea was to cut the gap and put a splitter on the bottom of the bumper and mesh it up, but i have no idea which one will fit and i am not convinced it will look good. This is the bumper i have.

I hate to say it, put it looks like the best option would be to get a different exhaust Naff. Nice looking bodykit there though

I have been toying with that idea also. Most gutting thing is the one i had on before i got this kit fit just nicely in the gap.
I don't realy want to get a new exhaust to as this one cost me £300 would rather pay around £150 for a new bumper and be differant. lol.
