luckely mate....didn't have to touch the bodywork at all!!!!

and i also found out while swapping the intercooler that my radiator was FFFUUUUCCCKKKED!!!

£60 for a brand new one was good though!!! BUT i wish i had have got a S2 rad now...then i could have run water cooling on the S2 hybrid turbo thats on there!!! oh well

fuck knows!! havn't started the car with it on yet!!

designed like that to get a small fan actaully ON the radiator, instead of trying to draw air through the intercooler first with intercooler mounted fans!!

+

there is hardly ANY room on the S1, due to that stupid bar across the front that goes behind the front bumper!!! with this intercooler....there was no CUTTING involved at all
