FMIC Fitment !

[tech1889]

Hi i bought a Pro-Alloy front mount off a guy on this forum because it looked like it fitted really well. I have now fitted this to my AUM same engine code as him but my fitment is completely different ive had to chop the front bumper about which i hate and he didn't. I wondered if there was a reason for this ? if he didn't have AC would of it had sat much further back ? The only reason i am asking is because i have chopped the bumper about and the bumper even though its on and bolted in place its not fitting right by the arch if that makes sense ? and the front valance was buckled (now cable tied into place for temporary fix) so i no its not on properly but i cant even see where its hitting no more lol...

Any advice would be much appreciated its a Pro-alloy intercooler for a A3 and a piping kit i believe for a mk4 golf. I want to move the intercooler back and fit the front grills again just for looks as not a keen fan on the pipes even though they look mean lol

OMG mate id be pissed, some choping of the bumper is required off every intercooler but not that much R32 or US front bumper time me thinks

yer i na looks naff dont it ? i just dont no how he got it to fit without that much cutting ive mounted it same way and everything i just thought it would be a bit less noticeable lol.. i no i dont mind cutting a bit but ive chopped that much and in my opinion still not fitting right lol

Means an R32

oh lol i would love to put the R32 front bumper on it looks mint but they are well too expensive for me i think they going for about £350 and then if its wrong colour getting it sprayed too much money..

so far i have typhoon induction kit and forge 007p and this front mount what other cheapish mods are there they will give a noticeable difference apart from exhausts and a remap ?

sod the r32 front bmper get the US standard front bumper the come out alot further than the standard bumper, the intercooler should fit snug behind it!
