That instal looks good, just a shame you couldn't keep the grill as I loved the stealthy look.

Well done mate, glad you have got it done, be interesting to see what difference it makes. All i need now is for my shoulder to get better so that i can get back into the garage and get back on with sorting my front mount intercooler.

It would of been nice to keep the front looking subtle, but the intercooler core is about three times as thick as the grille, so theres no way of hiding it....Unless I drive around with a blanket on top?? 
Cheers to everyone for all the encouraging comments, I rly appreciate it! Nics comment made me laugh! lol, who needs grilles ey? 
Thanks guys, Tim

Looks a decent job, have you got an air charge temperature guage? just wondered if you have any before and after figures.

Thanks for the thumbs up on my car :cool: I'm aiming for similar horsepower to your beast, so I think MJ or similar is next

Great looking car. I also got my intercooler made by Forge, and they did a great job.

looks like it will serve its purpose well, but it does stand out a lot more now!
