fitted intercooler today the ebay one!! bout a map sensor mount from forge, was expecting fitting to be worse than what it was, had to cut one of the alloy pipes though.
i drilled through the cross bar and bolted cooler straight to it, the bumper is definatley not going to go back on no matter how much i cut, (without cuttin the face of bumper)
didnt need to remove washer bottle
are the R32 bumpers abit more spacious? do they stick out foward more than the standard one???
-
have you cut the recess into the crash bar?
like so....

The ebay ones dont fit like that.. they sit under the crossmember
-
it fits under the cross member, its inline with the cross member (dosent stick out past it)
how much more room do you have with the r32 bumper??
-
you shouldnt need to butcher the front bumper that much mate.. have you moved the cross member or anything ?? you get quite a bit more room with r32 bumper and they would require no trimming really but at like £250+ a secondhand bumper they not cheap..
-
weld a bit of flat bar to the cross member and mount the intercooler further back, thats what i should have done.. might do it at some point in life..
heres what i did, by the way, the first pics are with the intercooler mounted upside down!

The r32 front bumper weather its genuine or a replica requires trimming. Well I got ths fmic and had to trim some of my rep bumper. Topher had forge fmic and he has had to trim his genuine r32 front bumper
