Why not put the oil cooler behind the nearside fog light grill that way it would free up the intercooler for cold air and not look out of place ie central. There is plenty of rooom there as well

Isnt there room for oil cooler as well ??? i would still put it there and put remote oil filter in bay somewhere as i wouldnt want intercooler blocked at all especially with a HOT oil cooler which will be warming the air going into intercooler. Maybe even put p/s cooler behind drivers side fog grill.Just be a longer run which would help even more with cooling it
