ive connect them with a 2 pin plug, so its jus a case of taking 3 screws out n un-plugging the fogs, if the worst happened

yh i just thought of that too .. but iv seen loads 1.8t with fogs in the grills and they been fine as u said.. still is a risk in a way...does the intercooler get bit of air through the big centre grill??


hmmm i could cut like a hole in the driver grill part to let bit air through  :lipsrsealed:

hmmm i could cut like a hole in the passenger grill part to let bit air through  :lipsrsealed:

what good would that do?? there's no ducting on that side to force air across to the intercooler...........

you could just just an FMIC to eliminate your concerns  :tongue:

but then the intercooler pipes would stick out the grill parts so i wont be able to have fog lights there  :undecided:

what if i put a duct pipe leading to the intercooler.. would surely be better then nothing.. as looking at the grill as standard there aint that much space for air to pass through..

depends if you buy an ebay special or get someone to knock up some decent custom pipework

I wouldn't worry about it; its not as if we are in the tropics and the engine is in desperate need of lots of cold air
