Now I've just got to fit it on there which should be fun :undecided:
-
Lol wes be ok . does that bottom pipe get tucked away ?
-
jonny - yes mate it goes under all the plastics
jack - I'll get the old man to give me a hand, he's useless at mechanics but will be good if I need the bumper trimming :grin:
-
Ah cool should look good wes can beat a FMIC

I've borrowed Dave_iow's spare front bumper that he's already hacked the life out of to see what will need adjusting too so that will help
-
:cool: :cool:
-
lol wes. Shud be ok lower pipe sits back under FMIC so be ok .I Thourt it sat at the front of the FMIC
-
We cut the long pipe so it could be lifted up and behind the ic,all those marks are from scraping the floor, i think i borrowed the hose that connects them to fit the std side mount,just use the hose off yours :wink:
-

-

Will see if I can have a go at fitting it in the week :smiley:
-

Yeah I guessed that as it looks bloody low on the pic just after you bought it :shocked:
I'll be getting some 50mm silicone pipe in black to replace the red as I'm a tart for that lol
I'm sure I've got enough hose in the shed if I get stuck :wink:
guys I've got my daughter asleep on me, I don't wanna wake her up as she's a miserable sh!t tonight lol

Ideal bud :afro:
-
Looks spot on :cool:, do you think youl have to trim the bumper for it to fit?
if so do you think you could take some pics of what and how much you had to take off please? as im still in debate as whether to buy a fmic as I want to stay 'stealth' as possible
cheers
-
yeah I reckon I'll have to trim something off but I want to keep the grilles etc to keep it looking as OEM as poss
I'm thinking of spraying the intercooler black too...
-
Ah stealth FMIC :wink:

Great minds think alike bud :wink: exactly what I plan on doing!!
Let me know how you get on dude!?
-
LOL mine just looks like a radiator until u get up close LOL
-
now for sale, it's not fitting without some major work on the bumper :cry:

gutted mate
how much is major work
-
more than I'm willing to chop out lol.
I think it's designed to fit behind the US standard bumper or aftermarket versions, it fitted behind Patchs's Rieger then the R32 bumper ok, just not the UK bumper :cry:
-
bad times!! how much :cool:
-
What I paid for it + postage mate which was £150
-
will let you know friday. didnt get as much birthday money as i hoped today :undecided: LOL
iv a r32 bumper, will much need chopping?
-
I don't think so mate, the major bit that stopped it from fitting was the profile of the bottom half of the standard bumper and the return angle under the rubstip.
-
Thought about fitting the core upside down?
Might need to chop the piping and maybe add a few more silicone tube joints,but i'm sure it can be made to fit.
Try mounting the core and see if the bumper fits....

Dibs wes :smiley:

You have indeed :wink:
