same intercooler as mine. i just drilled some 8mm holes in and bent some stainless bracket myself. id recommend cutting the crash bar a lil bit and mounting it up and back as much as possible to reduce how much you will have to chop out of the front bumper.(i found this out the hard way and the bumper lost the battle with the jigsaw )

obviously your going to mount it slightly more central but you can see how much bumper i had to chop away.

Are you joking? Thats the biggest bodge job I have seen in my life

was thinking this myself that looks awful  :embarassed: and the front bumper is now wrecked to  hope you have sorted that out since the pic was taken

Don't think he's coming back, he's busy somewhere,  maybe he hit another fox and decided to stop this time.
