Im looking in to this type of intercooler but will it be any good?? The reason i like them is cos of how the pipes come out would sit perfectly down the size of the rad but would it provide enought cooling?? what you guys think?

Theres loads of coolers about for not much money mate. Im guessing you could make that fit pretty easily but it will be off centre.

When it arrives, whip the bumper off and stick it in place, grab some pictures. You'll be able to get a better idea then.

The milkman posted me something Monday and that still hasnt come so I wouldnt wouldnt worry too much, the snow has f*cked the post office big time.
Erm I cant see why not tbh, its not all about having a massive cooler you know. The main problem I see with that is 50% of it will be hidden behind the bumper/numberplate rather than a long one that runs across the grill.
I ran more than that on a top mount and so have a lot of other people on here.

When/if it comes will get bumper of and see what it looks like, thats what makes me wonder if its enough because of the bit that is behind the number plate bit will just have to find a way of mounting it as theres no brackets on it or get some welded on if I can find some one who can weld alloy

think about it this way bud, top mounts work perfectly fine and there not the best air flow cooled so even if its similar size cooling should be fine sitting at the front. and you still not got that yet simon im gonna blame weather lol

Not worth the effort of fitting it mate, if it was all gonna be in the airflow, i'd say yeah go for it. But at least half of it will be hidden.

Those inlets aren't parallel, so even on its side I think you'll have problems getting it down the side of the radiator.
