Right then pepole bit of an up date for you lot
Got my oil cooler fitted last weekend and got some old garden hose pipe and fitted it so i could get right length for the oil pipe
took the hose pipe of and took it to a local company and they made it up for me with in the hour then got home and fitted them to see how much work would need to be done to get the front bumper to fit 
and there was a lot to be done
just got to make the holes bigger in the front panel so i can put some rubber tubing on the sharpe metal so that it does not cut in to the oil pipe
had to cut a small bit out the top bar of the bumper as i have moved the intercooler forward so i could mount the fans on the rad
had to cut alotout of the bumper because of pipe work
because i cut so much out of the right hand side you could see the front panel thought the gap which i did not like so i had to do abit of fiberglass work to make it look like the left hand side intercooler which i think looks much better
I also got the drivers seat fitted but i will get some more pics up in the week

Black is the worst imo as the colour is so dark ya cant see the shape and lines of the bumpers / body
