A little update!

I ordered a toyosports type b cooler (wellycooler) so that should be coming this week!

I've also done a little work on the spoiler.

I started by cleaning up the surface on the spoiler that the lip would be stuck too and marked up the center points on boththe spoiler and the lip.





I also decided that I was going to stick the lip on using the supplied adhesive tape and some tiger seal Inbetween. So I roughed up the surface Inbetween the tape with some emery.

I then applied a small bead of tiger seal and stuck the lip in the desired position and although it felt very solid as soon as it stuck I tightly wrapped some electrical tape around it just in case.









I'm going to let it all set over night and then just go around the edges with some tiger seal to stop any water ingress and help hold it that little bit better!

Once that's all sorted I can send both the spoiler and the bumper to be painted!  :grin:

You seem to be correct  :grin:
I had only seen the 2.5" inlets version which was smaller but you can get the big core with 2.5 too haha   :laugh:

Never miiiiiind doesn't really make much difference I'll still make it fit  :grin:

Yeah, most 2.5" ones have got the 64mm core too, I know what you mean!

Just got the problem of making mine fit now, you should be alright though mate, when you aiming to fit it? Have you test fitted behind your bumper yet? If so, what's the room like? You going for 3 or 2.5 pipework?

I'm going for 2.5" mate, why I opted for that sized inlets so I didn't have to use any reducers.

Going to try and hard pipe the whole lot later on when it's up and running, eliminate any potential leaks :cool:
