Mine is mounted "upside down" on the bottom of the front main crossmember.

Pics will show it more clearly.







It sits very low, and I'm 50/50 as to whether I like it quite that low.

19 row Mocal cooler by the way.

The bottom of the connectors are about 2 inches above the bottom line of the bumper.

Like I say, I may try and move it slightly to get more clearance, BUT I'd be majorly concerned if I was catching anything under the car.

Having said that, I like using the kerbs on track

i was gonna remove me fog light and "hide" it behind there, just mesh it, does a few things then, makes the car look different, allows more air into the bay on both sides

AND I WONT HAVE TO KEEP BUYING FUCKING FOG LIGHTS TO HAVE THEM STONE CHIP AGAIN WITHIN THE MONTH

also means i dont have the pain in the arse of replacing the fog lamp bulbs ever again
