That looks like the cooler I have on mine, does it definatly fit without modifying the bar as mine didnt....although I think mine could be a bit thicker :)

lol, hope it all goes well mate.

Don't forget you need a gap between the back of the cooler and the air con rad so the air can pass through....don't sit it against the rads as it won't be as effective :)

Just seen link for that cooler its smaller than mine so prob fit a treat.

Harty, nice to meet you today. (i spoke to you outside just after yours had been run)

How much did the FMIC set you back including all the pipes,etc?? Thats the same size cooler i've been looking at on ebay. Will prob wait till summer before i get one now though.

Nice to meet you to mate was a good day

intercooler was 66.99
45 degree silicon 63-57mm long reducersx2 were 28.00
the 4 63mm alloy pipes were 46.00
5x silicone couplers inluding miklor clamps were 25.00
i used 2 joist straps to fit the cooler were 5.00
then just some 8mm pins nuts and washers which were a few quid
forge map pipe i think was 30.00

total 200.99 not bad for adding 40 lb/ft and only took 4-5 hours to fit there is a link to the stuff i used a few posts up mate
