Default Fitting GRS intercooler

Arrived today wahoo! Can anyone tell me if you have to trim any of the panels at the front to allow it to fit?

cheers

Ive not fitted a GRS but you do have to cut the front panel same with the RATEC and the PRO-ALLOY the pro-alloy is the best fit

I got a pro-alloy front mount due to the fact of the cutting required with GRS. and so i believe the pro-alloy is equally as good as that of the slightly bigger GRS.

Best to cut out the front bumper as it will run alot hotter then before and as much cool air as pos will be needed good luck getting the lights in

The fog lamps shouldnt be a problem really can still be fixed in one end! I can do the cut out in the middle but think its going to be a body shop job to fill in the sides as the intercooler isnt as far forward as some people have it

Yeah not such a good one though, IH told me that no where has any oil pumps as they have stopped making them so got to wait until an old one is re-conditioned next week! otherwise the engine would be ready!! All the bits ive done have been put on fiesta t.com, cant really do anything else till engine arrives! Just cant wait now till its back to this again!
