Next big thing to do is a front mount intercooler, as the standard intercooler is the size of a matchbox.

Spacers will make the rear look a hell of a lot better as the wheels sit in loads

Neither, im going down the custom route.

Found a 'cooler that fits the mouth of the bumper perfectly and i'm buying all the pipework needed to connect it up.

Parts should come to less than £300 and fitting should be less than £100 so i'll have a custom cooler fitted for less thn £400.

Less than half the price of the Forge one fitted and about the same as the laguna, but with better looks!

Yes new core should fit behind the bumper nicely as it's only 2.5" thickness and the overall length is about the same width as the mouth of the bumper.

There is no way i'd pay 750 for the forge kit, id rather have a bit of trial and error fitting a universal one.

Slat is staying, trying to keep it standard looking, will still see the front mount nicely and get loads of air to it.

Really want to tidy the bodywork up. Needs new front fogs as mine are cracked, front bumper resprayed, small dent in passenger side quarter panel taken out and a bloody good mop to get the swirls out

I didnt fit it, but apparently the hardest part of the install was taking the front bumper off.

I just used 2 L brackets and had it mounted off the crash bar

A few people have said about cutting the centre bar away from the bumper but would need a bodyshop to do it and smoothe it over to make it look half decent, money id rather spend elsewhere really
