ok maybe i should have a go at flipping mine round if it is upside down. might not make much difference...

that colour coded bump strip and SEAT badge in black look sick

Looks Awsome! Just to confirm before I order mine you didn't moved the radiator at all just trimmed the bumper slightly and took the mesh out? I'm going to get some new mesh as i'd like to keep it looking stealthy!
Cheers

thats correct. i didnt move the radiator at all. just removed the honeycomb mesh and cut away a little of the bumper. it is tight though but you just need to persevere with it!

Nice one Murray.

I too am suffering the pain of fitting one of these at the moment - i made the mistake of not buying the kit thinking i knew better on fitament... Doh! It's cost me more in the long run.

I'm replacing a rather 'bent' Laguna FMIC fitted by a previous owner so i'll be keen to see if there are any gains to be had...

ah i see haha ye i thought i might as well buy the full kit as it would save some faffing around.

ok cool ye there seems to be plenty people on here who've tried the laguna jobby. there is a guide on fitting the laguna intercooler in the Infobase section of the seatcupra.net homepage. that would be worth a look at for some tips!
