requires a lot of butchering to the front crash member plus you need to re-route the hoses etc

get a feeling the Forge item is going to be pricey as the 1.8T cooler is £900 from them!!  :shocked: :shocked:

Is it really worth it for 900 notes  :undecided:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Looks cool, probably b quite expensive. Think of the research and design gon into it, they have to make the money back somewhere.

Not a bad price? You thinking bout it Rhys?

Although £600 will buy you your wheels...
