Would it fit/look right? Would it give decent performance upgrade with stage 2 or will a universal be better?

looks to be the near the same size as one i have, believe its from a 2.0Td vatara
The first 1/4 gets hot and the rest is cold, i have even seen condensation on the pipes under the bonnet

arent the inlets angled wrong so youll never be able to route them around the radiator?

what rowell said, the inlet angles are too sharp, you would need to saw holes out of the slam panel or something to get that to fit. massive pita

I made the pipe's slightly oval and they fit perfect either side of the radiator, would need to get the dimensions of that one and check it could be done

Well I can get one or similar from vehicle near enough free that was just an example. What fits well and is hidden but performs well? I don't want to do any cutting you see..

Youll be hard pressed to find something that ticks all those boxes mate. A trick that works for me - search the intercooler on google images, there'll almost always be a pic from nissens or similar with measurements show.. The measurements from the hdi:
Radiator = 750mm wide
Gap between chassis front panels = 835mm wide iirc
As you can see, not much room to work with... The gap between the chassis legs themselves is 870mm, so with some panel adjustment you can get a bit more.

With the angle of the inlet/exit does it match up with the car okay?

Do you think these will give as good performance gains as a universal one would?

Yes IMO it would efficientally cool the charge air.
When fitted in a place with good air flow of course

There are much better oem fmics you can get imo, the outlets on that 308 one would make mounting and plumbing difficult i think...
Several options of decent size and different installation here, should be something that suits your purposes:
Tidy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MONDEO-2-...3f242b542e
Bigger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-MASTER...41672ed4e6
Huge!: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IVECO-DAILY-20...257734925c
Alternative: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-MEGANE...3a7ffd5099
OEM intercoolers will also be more efficient than cheap ebay jobbies, through better-funded design, and probably flow more too.

IIRC it was a bit too long (giggity) to fit the piping up the sides of the rad.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

Do you think it could be modified easily.. (Fabricators at work )
Actually looking at the iveco daily that looks like it could fit nicely?

That mondeo one will have plenty of room - about 150mm either side to sort the piping out - there is a longer one that won't fit with ease though.
They would all fit nicely, that's the point of the selection i've put up. As said above, search google images for xxx intercooler and there will be a result from nissens that shows measurements. Nice and easy.
