unless you pull off the front bar (for the crash bar I think it is called) and or look fairly hard, no. (I have no backing on this other than my thoughts) I'm guessing that cutting the crash bar would be illegal as it forms an important part of the impact zone in the front, and you are cutting a seam which provides strength, although realistically I don't think it would make that much of a critical difference. the airbag sensor connects to a different bracket so that is unaffected. free tip for bending the aircon pipe - use a heat gun or high power hairdryer on low speed, and get the tube fairly warm - makes bending and not kinking it much easier
