That is not like the ebay picture - the in and out on that one are offset - the ebay one has them central to the core.

Did you request the inlet and outlet different to their ebay add ?

What are you talking about mate? Think you need to look again. I didn't buy the eBay kit either as above and in my past posts I made the kit up myself as it was much cheaper

The ports on the one you have bought seem to be much closer to the base compared to the one in the ebay link you posted

Excellent - was there any cutting or modification to the supporting plastic to do ?

Have you noticed any difference ?


You have to modify the front cradle a fair bit but its nothing major or affects its structure

Get a guide up mate :)...will prob get the fmic soon so would need to know what to do
H



With the guide I have all the pictures and most of the guide written up, 1 thing is stopping me posting it though. I don't want the guys selling them on eBay using my instructions and pictures with there kit ,I done some bits that I feel make this fit better and they will copy and get a profit for it, its going to happen isn't it. I might write them up and just send them to members that want to use them.

Understand what I mean?

Very nice - that looks factory fitted - you wouldn't know unless you have seen the OEM one.

I'm interested in the fitting guide if you make one - cheers

EDIT - whats the masking tape on the headlights for - just to stop scratches or were you doing something else ?

It does look very OEM, its a nice fit tbh only the red pipes give it away

I'm doing a guide as I type, ill prob email it to genuine people that want to do it, and a bigger cooler can be fitted, there is loads of head room to fit a taller cooler. Tape is on the lights to protect them,also done the wings and bumper.


Just looked and you can't get a taller cooler with that length, shame that
