Some tossbag on ZSOC bought a standard mk2 FRS intercooler, sprayed 'Forge' on it, and mounted it poking out the bumper of his mk6 Fiesta. He got ripped the piss out of.

Tell me more lol.

When I was at secondary school there was an escort that used to turn up and pick up one of the kids up. It was a mk4 in dark blue with every stick on tat you could imagine. Hideous wheel trims, door protectors, stickers, chrome badges, static strips etc etc

I remember it being offensive back then.

What kudos???

surely anyone with more than 1 brain cell will look at it and laugh at him for fitting an intercooler to an NA car.

Not if he fits one of these;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sporty-Dum...item2ebf28edaf

and one of these;


(or if the Saber kit is too expensive, this is a cheaper alternative - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sporty-Dum...item2ebf28edaf )

And then for ultimate performance, he can fit one of these!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/F1-Z-Turbo...item4cfcec3170

He'd be the envy of all the land

I suppose it would cool induction temps down but not worth the effort really :-(
Probably ended up fitting a fake dump valve aswell

Sticker bomb centre consoles, Sticker bomb fuel caps, chalk board bonnets (it was cool for a year or so), Smurfs and McD's toys hanging from towing eyes... Anything from the One Direction-style-floppy haired - oversized beany hat - arse hanging out of jeans that are skin tight at the bottom style of people......
