love this pro alloy fmic, looks so much better then forge and custom from ebay!

was it hard to move the radiator backwards? and what was the benefit of moving it?

No cutting in the bumper needed? And heard the plastic pipes original with the kit are bad? what are you guys doing with that? any chance of using a TT charge pipe?

Final question is where do i get this FMIC and what is the cost?

The red dots are around the areas you need to drill. Cut the bit on the left out. Make sure you support the bottom of the cooler as it has sagged along the top of the cooler and the top of the slam panel has sagged. The other pics i send you show how high it should be.

I also fitted the map sensor pipe the other way up. Seemed to fit a bit nicer.

Nice work. PM'ed Alex about the rad brackets as I intend to run a 65mm deep core soon and want to keep my OE mesh for a stealthy install.

I know this has been asked before but I've never seen the figures - do you know the dimensions of the Pro Alloy?

Did you not get the brackets with the kit arron? By sagged Alex means the top cooler mount. Look at the pic. The weight of the cooler has made it sag, only the side mounts really take the weight.

Robbie I dont think you have a hope in hell of keeping the OE mesh in the bumper unless it isnt very big.
