Recess the bumper and cover the IC with mesh and paint it black.

the first one, the other two defeat the object of fitting the bigger cooler in the first place.

hmmm then it has the same surface area as the first one? To be honest the intercooler sits lower on the first pic an because of that id stay with that as it means its covering all of your rad.

As Phil says, the whole point to fitting a bigger intercooler is for it get as much air thru it as poss !!
Fit it as the first pic, Paint it black and / or cover it in black mesh if your not wanting it to stand out.
