On the whole that Looks excellent fella.... Id have possibly gone for a slightly smaller cooler though? Huge ones just tend to look a bit overkill imo. Looking forward to seeing it on the show scene next year.

Absolutely awsome looking mate, could pass as a Euro-Homed car anyday!!! :)

very nice mate, every time i see a black nova it makes me want one!

i personally think it would look better with standard mirrors, would go with the squared beefed up arches. but thats my opinion, do what u like with it. very nice.

Really like that, but I have to agree with Nick, I prefer more subtle intercoolers. That said, it still looks awesome.

How about a proper project thread? I'd like to see how your LET bay is looking too?

have seen the same size intercooler on other colour ones but the contrast between black and silver is a bit to much. functional though:thumb:

Looks nice as said could of gone abit smaller on the cooler and put it behind the bumper. thats going to get abit damaged where it is. colour look really good and well done


But can you keep on one bloody thread tho. why do you have to post another thread every time you do another thing to it!

Heres a quick one of the bay as it stands atm ignore the rocker cover because the painted one has just turned up... all work in progress and major changes to be made...watch this space....

please, please, please use BLACK silicon hoses for the 90s on the intercooler! Blue would ruin it!

I understand what people are saying about it being a large cooler - maybe spray it black? If you use rattle can black its thin enough not to clogg anything and will dim it down a touch?

Then again the whole car does look aggressive anyway!

oh my(dribbling has i stare at the pic while getting a semi-on) IMHO i think the size intercooler looks at home,as its in large proprtion to the rest of the car ie arches deepdish rims etc,hats sweet fella.:)

I think it looks good, but would be great if the intercooler and hoses were black :thumb:.

EUROTURBO
26-01-09, 01:04 PM
i do aggree with some of you about the size and colour but thats something that could be changed in time, the reason for the large intercooler is for future progression on the turbo and manifold front. another reason is as stated by a few people and that it is very aggressive and big on other fronts...i.e...bumpers, arches, wheels, brakes, cage etc.... the silicone connecting the cooler to turbo and inlet piping are straights not 90 degrees the cuts for the pipework are in both corners of the front panel...so come in at straights both sides...

Oh yes, that is absolutley lush !!! that really looks brilliant, so agressive, a very nice combo with those wheels. Dont listen to everybody saying tone it down, the big front mount intercooler goes perfectley with the whole package and makes it look really agressive ! the only thing i'd do is rid it of the front indicators, i.e blank out the spaces in the wings and mount them stealthly into the front bumper, would make it look even harder.
