When fitting the bumper, intercooler/rad/turbo cooler, and engine to a saff which is the best way round?
I'm running out of storage space in my garage and the bumper is now ready to be fitted, and i've just bought the whole intercooler/rad/turbo cooler/fans setup. I know that ideally the rad etc is easier fitted without the bumper on, and that the engine is easier fitted without the rads etc on...
...but i wanna fit the bumper and rads etc now!!!!
The engine's quite a way off being finished btw

As above, the easiest way in my opinion, just mind the rad when fitting the engine back in, either that or whip them all back out again before you start.

Thanks for the comments guys, I know people say fit the intercooler etc with the bumper off but i've never had a problem with leaving the bumper on as long as you can raise the car high enough. Plus, getting the bumper to sit straight and look good from the outside is very important imo so fewer bits that could possibly get in the way the better...
...so I think i'll pop the bumper on first, fit the intercooler/rad etc and as said if needs be I can drop them back down when fitting engine!
