if you want it to look right, good fitment and easy bolt on then save your pennies and get either a THS or forge FMIC kit

i payed about £180 for my ebay jobbie, lots of cutting needed to get it right but it works well.

ooooww relly dont wana do any cutting did the ebay one make much dif in performance??

[jamie16v]

well its not really a real power gain anyway, its just to help your engine run right under high temps.. you may notice some lag (i didnt)
i cant say i noticed any increase in preformane but then i only drive 1.5miles to work and back.. on the motorway it gets to keep temps down really well..

wise words, bought an ebay cooler myself then decided to give up as so much cutting needed to be done

I bought a Forge one, it's the tits! I didn't have to cut more than 3mm and I havnt got a ridiculous length of pipe going round my bay

You shouldn't have had to cut anything?

If you want to maintain all original grills then a small piece of the centre had to be cot away, the bonnet catch central support had to be cut half way down and the crappy drivers side grill that forge supple needed a whisker off it too. I could have probably got away with it and gangstered it in but it looks like a factory o/e job. Also managed to keep the headlight washers working too
