Default grs fitting?

hi i have just changed my 90 spec front bumper to an 88 spec as i prefer the look, i have still to fit my grs intercooler, will i have to cut the bumper to get it to fit? how hard is it to fit a grs intercooler and is there any othe bits i will need?

cheers Neil

From what I've heard on 88spec bumpers it depends what fan your using, if standard you might have to get a bit creative and do some trimming, if your running slim fans you should be fine!

Get yourself two slimline fans from airtec,a standard one will give you cooling problems,fitting the grs is simple, you should have 4 lugs on it, drill holes to match on the front panel in the area the fog brackets would bolt on to

hi mate was looking at it today semms pretty simple.... well it would be if the previous owner of my grs hadnt snapped the 4 lugs off! now im having to find someone to weld new ones on

a quick question should the new fans be mounted to the4 radiator as before or to the front of the intercooler?

cheers

If you can,put the fans onto the rad.Its what the fans are designed for other whys you might have cooling problems by mounting them to intercooler.Yes you will need to trim some of the 88spec bumper,as i did to make fit.
