Right big update today, well just lots of pictures!
Fitted the front mount and plumbed it all in. I'll make a guide on this when I get time
I fixed the intercooler through the bottom panel, used the existing hole (removed the clip)

Drilled a hole in the slam panel and put a bit of 8mm rod through.
IC is solid and doesn't move now.
IC sits dead central and the hoses either side needed trimming 10mm
Just to note I have kept the radiator in the standard position

The only bit that needed modifying was the slam panel. It needed pulling towards the front bumper a little to clear the 180 degree hose

I'm going to change this a bit as I'm not happy with it
the 90' in the middle will be alloy instead of silicon

The cold air feed is retained

I cut a bit off the 406 top pipe, this ends up being 2" when you do so

The old inlet elbow and air doser removed

This was an absolute twat to remove, easiest way was a hacksaw after undoing the jubilees, one on the turbo (accessible from the wheel arch) and one on the inlet elbow/air doser (accessible from under the car through the exhaust tunnel)
Very restrictive design down to around 1" in places
