I know you can get a front bumper in there as i have had mine in there before, you kinda have to put the passenger seat back as flat as you can get it then feed it in from the boot so the curves on either end are going into the footwell and boot, not sure about front and rear though might be tight.

If you remove the rear strutbrace a front and rear bumper should fit, but it\'ll be tight.
Sideskirts will squeeze in there too.

Had loads of stuff in mine at different points, exhausts, full turbo kits, front bumpers, can be done with passenger seat in place but probably easier to remove it

And the answer is.........

You can if you remove the passenger seat.

Inner and outer front bumper together, in from the passenger side.

Rear bumper in from the boot up and over the rear strut brace.

With the seat removed you can use all mirrors in the car, which was my concern as I didn\'t fancy digging through traffic on my way back up north on Friday.
