Show me your front mounts

[novalew]

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.

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

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.

[novalew]

I have a new front panel to go on I was thinking of a short but wideish cooler

[novalew]

Maybe an oil cooler behind the grill

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

[novalew]

Where did you get it from mate

[bazzap8389]

I bought it off someone a few years ago, was a custom job iirc.

[kevster]

Think most have see enough of mine , sticks out and don't like the look of it now so think twice lol

[TOZNOVA81]

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.

[novalew]

I spoke to a mate who said to go with a civic rad

[bazzap8389]

Thought it was an intercooler you were after??

[novalew]

It is. That was just off topic.
