Takes a bit of time but not a hard job would defiantly recommend it over eBay jobs from what I have read about them  :smiley:

Could you get me a pic of how it looks behind the drivers side grille? I'm sure mine sticks too far forward, it's gonna be a struggle to get my grille back on  :cry:

Yeah mate no worries, it did require a bit of trimming on the drivers side because of the pipe but looks ok now it's done.

Not sure if it should be that far forward? Did you take any of the plastic front panel away behind the bottom pipe? Also do you have air con/climate?

Wazzer -
tried gettin some pics tonight but its to dark to see anythin really.
my intercooler doesnt look much different but im sure my pipe is slightly further back, i managed to get my plastic vent back on with the aid of a cable tie but think i may have another look this weekend and try tidy it up as i ran out of time yesterday.
and no i dont have electronic climate control just the normal manual stuff.

Where'd you buy it from?

reasonably  :laugh: but a price im willing to pay to get it ready for the k04-001  :grin:

i trimmed the front pannel on mine and it allowed it to sit back a fair bit i got a genuine r32 bump on first fit with out trimming the front panel i could not get the grill on i trimmed front pannel then ajusted all the pipe work form that bottom intercooler fitting and i can get the grill on perfect no no problem but without trimming that pannel i had no chance
Title: Re: Fmic....fitted :D
Post by: Wazzzer on 31 January 2012, 20:03

Thats how mine sits, but it wont go back any further due to the metal on the chassis leg next to towbar.
Title: Re: Fmic....fitted :D
Post by: blade4real2004 on 31 January 2012, 23:29
No prob mate...

I had to cut mine Chris to get it to sit on the chassis leg it was held off a good bit till I cut it
