heres mine all ive done is cut out the number plate slot for the intercooler and meshed it.
looks cool!! nice idea that!
would like the hole to be as big as jamiegsi, dan16v and matts
people think thats abit big saying its only there to look nice....
fair comment, i just think it looks gash. As you said, it's functional and I'm considering the aesthetics.but Rick that is basicaly defeating the whole point of having a large intercooler! by hiding it behind a bumper you are just covering more % of the core, making it less efficient!, i had an i/c made when i first started doing my car which went behind the std gsi bumper with no cutting needed, it all comes down to wanting it to "look good" or do the job it is intended for, keeping the inlet charge temp as low as possible, by taking maximun advantage of the volume/ surface area of your i/c and letting it see as much air as possible! which is the route i went down
Who said anything about mk4? I'm on about 1.8 turbo's into mk1's and mk 2's, just the same as a let into nova. Engine SHOULDN'T be there, so the intercooler has to be fitted somewhere! LOL!
oh, i assumed you meant a bigger intercooler on a standard golf mk4, plus alot of mk1's and 2's dont have big bumpers, so you can hide it.. yea, my bad
