Default Fighting with my FMIC, grrrr.....

Guy's I've been fighting with my FMIC trying to get it to fit all afternoon. It's an Airtec front mount jobbie but I just cant seem to get the bumper on, it wouls the fans, and it's a 90spec bumper which they recon you dont have to cut.

Anyone got any suggestions? Pics of front mounts fitted without the bumper might help to see if mines sat back far enough!

Cheers,

Lee

never in a million years will you fit a FMIC in without any mods at all, its perfectly normal to have to trim the bumper and/or move the rad back

Got it to fit in the end, had to take some foam out from behind the bumper and push the intercooler right back against the rad. Youre right tho, it's all them fans fault and it is a seriously tight fit!!!

Cheers guys
