I decided to fit my Forge side mount intercooler today as I had a spare hour. It turned into a 4 hour job though lol
First of all I had to get the standard IC out which was an easy job once the bumper was off

A pic to compare the intercoolers

the gap in the wheel arch waiting for the Forge IC

I had to trim the plastic front panel to allow the end tank to fit

then the new intercooler showing it's face

Only problem is I broke a jubilee clip on the inlet manifold hose so I haven't been able to take it out and see if there has been any noticable difference but I'll give it a go 2moro once I get the new clip on there
I also fitted my LED indicator bulbs while the bumper was off
Here's a quick pic of the engine bay with the S3 covers fitted too
