   Use a jnr hack saw, not exactly the most feared saw in the world.
   
   My mate used an angle grinder but i personally think it melts the surrounding plastic too much.
   
   If your not that confident in doing it, why not buy a cheap vt front bumper if you can find one and have a practice with that.
