Default front spots..........

and GRS intercoolers, can they actually both be fitted to the car?
if so any pics would be good, most people dont seem to think its possible.
custom brackets might have to be on the list.

incase anyone was wondering why i want to keep them, my car looks fully standard, down to the lights, so i want everything exterior wise left on.

it can i will post a pic quickly


edit:

Here you go!



i made new brackets on the bottem and twisted them a little bit so the IC hangs back on the top. i needed to do this for my fan and bumper to fit. So i cut off the top 2 brackets and it's extremely tight. The GRS that i have is such a tight fit that it's no problem to use only 2 brackets. Also the hoses hold it in place very well.

think spots look well good, my mate was telling me about when he mounted one on the back of his car; told the police it was a reverse light but it was really for when people were right up his arse... give them 150w lucas flash and they thought aliens were landing!

normally people tend to go with a slimline fan when fitting a large front mount cooler.
