As the title looking for inspiration on a front mount cooler. I have a gsi bumper if that helps. If it's a specific make or model let me know
Ebay uni FMIC, with 90deg bends welded on each end to better routing and DV take off build in to end.

Benn, have you modded the bumper bar to fit the FMIC?

My fmic, however I do plan to get a new bumper and change to a stealthier option behind the bumper like benn's as it draws abit to much attention for my liking. I swear if one more person says "redtop?" to me in a car park or petrol station I might just snap lollol

My bumper as it is. I'd like to fill the gap if possible

You'll need to cut the front panel for what i use. But looks like it needs work anyway... Then again with your bumper cut it might all fit.

Not my car but I've got that exact intercooler, was planning in hiding it behind the front bumper.

I got mine mocked up today after butchering my Gsi bumper which made me leak from the eyes slightly a lot :( and chopping an inch out of the support bar [Thanks Benn :D ]
But got it to fit where i need it to now.
This is before I chopped the bumper and bar, i forgot to take an after pic n just took one with the IC from the front, but will 2moro of the chopped bits if it helps.

The white one a page back was Dan J's car. it sit right in the mouth as he designed it too. Was custom made for him.
My cooler is short my thick. I'd like it a touch thinner. So i can pull my rad forward a little.
