That's not a problem was there any bumper trimming involved with that kit
I had a lower number in my head in regards to what I wanted to pay but the car is more important than the missus so no more shoes for the next month or so lol
Did you notice an improvement after fitting
sorry for the questions but want to get everything just right

Yeah, some trimming to the rear of the bumper and the centre and o/s vents. As long as you're careful with a dremel you'll be fine, it might even be worth picking up a bumper from a scrappy to practice on first. Make it fit then cut the real one.

It can be done for less by fitting a wellycooler but you'll end up with pipes hanging out of your vents. Like you I wanted mine to be completely hidden which is why I opted for this kit.

You'll certainly notice an improvement in the summer

Thanks a lot for the help I really don't want pipes hanging out and yours looks AWESOME will deffo be stealing your idea of spraying it all Matt black

Wazzer....awww my old THS! haha.  Miss that cooler.

SMIC at 237bhp will be terrible...you will get about 5seconds worth of efficient cooling before it cant keep up and you have inlet temps into the 40-50c's.  Then timing pull and loose power.

Dare bet it feels a lot slower after a good boost in a high gear.

Exactly that it's so noticeable my mate has an r32 and when we get out on the motorway I can outpull him in third the first time but after that I can't keep up you can physically feel the power loss! I need to invest some cash gonna have to be in a month or 2 cos Christmas is a bummer when ur self employed
