just serton people like to get involved at my place and tend to take over these jobs and i end up wanting to kill them
i dont work for the company no but i did fit both of those intercoolers to mine and the black one!
I fitted mine with the threaded bar routed through the bumper bar, i put the threaded bar as far back as i could but still had to cut loads off the bumper! if you dont fancy cutting you bumper you could fabricate some brackets and you could have the cooler much further back and not have to cut as much off if any of the bumper.
Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to do the job so you get it right! (a day or so)

loads of ways of mounting this kit..
i've mounted mine quite far forward, and took the middle bar out (just prefer the look)
some people mount it in the middle, still drilling through the crash bar, and then keep the middle bar, but involves a lot of chopping.
then the guy mentioned in previous posts mounted it the same way at the forge kit, pretty much resting on the a/c rad, meaning that you dont need to touch the bumper..
its all down to individual taste. once i got mine fitted, i sprayed it back looks nice on a blue cupra imo

its really simply. trick is to set aside a weekend to do it
the actual fitting of the intercooler is quite simple. its the cutting of the bumper that takes the time, as you want to get it perfect. i took the easy option and took the middle bar out lol. but all depends what you fancy doing with it

just gotto sort the moneys out 
mine just after i fitted it! (black marks are just bugs on the bumper lol)
it dont look like you took any of the botom bit of the bumper????
did you just trim thr middle bar????
what did you use to trim it??????
Mines pretty much the same as MIkey kc's, i used a dremel to cut my bumper up. I think i took abit too much off though, lol.
i fitted one of those ebay kits yesterday...

Supprisingly easy tbh, took me about half a day, my bumper trim job isn't the best, but i'll tidy it up when the better weather comes (too cold to sit out side any longer).
Only thing i did was trim the little ally joiner pipes so the long pipe would sit higher up.

i never needed to cut the bottom of the bumper as my intercooler sits perfectly on top of the bottom bar
