how hard is it to move the A/C back abit

[loveturbopower]

Basically the intercooler has two mounting areas with threads in, so i just made up two brackets which i bought from homebase lol i think they were some sort of kitchen unit brackets, bent them to the shape i wanted which was like a C shape, then mounted the intercooler so it was under the crash bar but mounted to it, sturdy as f**k doesnt wobble or have any play, but yeah if u move the rads back for some reason its closer one side than the other dont let this trick ur eyes, the first time i mounted the cooler i lined it with the rads, stuck the bumper on, trimmed it, then realised it was closer one side than the other lol thats why i mounted it to the crash bar in the end

This makes me feel a bit better about it! Although I can't see how on earth there is enough room for it to fit like that without moving the radiators back...

just looked at that thread, im sure i tried it like that and the bumper wudnt go right back on, maybe ther was something blocking it when i tried it, might get a new front bumper and try doing it that way

 

[RichFred]

I'm pretty sure there isn't enough room for it to fit like that, I was planning on hanging my core in a similar way, but I reckon the radiators have to be moved back for the bumper to go back on ok. Maybe his were already moved by a previous owner...

think me and cupra20 are going to try move the rad back to do this without moding the bumper

 

[SEATCOOBER]

can you take pics and and tell us what brackets you use bud as im looking for a bigger cooler

 

[p34ch3y]

[SEATCOOBER]

mines gonna be about 65 thick and there was not alot of room when i fit my laganua cooler, im dreading it lol

 

[p34ch3y]

na its all good fun

 

[Cupra20]

I'll make sure i bring me camera with me,

if your going 65mm thick then i'm sure you'd have to move the rads back, we'll do some measuring for you while it's apart.

this would be handy to have some pics as i want to do mine but dont wanna go into it blind lol!

Is it not possible to retain the standard mesh by putting it on something like a bandfacer to reduce it's thickness and then just trim the rest of the bumper where needed, keeping an OE look?
