I don't know about the quality. But it would like doing a direct swap with what youve already got.. Not really worth it unless your upgrading with something like a Forge side mount.

Forge is £435 for the side mount and looks like these 2 above. :undecided:

I've heard good things about these and plan to get one myself for my Leon at some point. They are much thicker than the standard intercooler so intake temps will see some reduction over the standard one but wont be as much as a FMIC but to be fair, unless your running big power, it will do the job.

I have one, just as good quality as the Forge item and a bit thicker too. Don't be thinking the Forge one is better quality because it's more expensive
