[mikehealy5]

il try this way but if i cant get the bumper back on il chop the u-bend and do it like yours.

 

[lgonzalez]

I think I need a bigger intercooler in my life too lol

 

[MovingShadow]

I'd like to do this as well with my GT Wind but the nose isn't exactly the same as the Twingo.

Some intercoolers are too big and require you to cut out a part of the bottem to make it fit + my cold air feed kit from my costum airintake is no longer going to fit because the piping from the fmic would be infront of it.

Theres lots of pointless plastic on the inside of the bumper you can cut off to make room lol

I will try and put my cold air feed back in the bumper around the left hand side. It might go just above the coupler and sit in the bend.

Maybe all the extra plastic that I can trim of the inside of the bumper might help me fit the CAF better giving it more room. Think it's just one of those tasks there il never know till iv tried it.

JE-GT would you say there's enough room for it?

 

[mikehealy5]

Fitted my new pedles today! bought them off ebay for the bargin price of £1.04!!! (oh and 99p postage)

i didnt want to drill holes to fit them so i used some super sticky double sided trim tape!

 

[lgonzalez]

Nice! will the trim tape secure them tightly forever? I'd be worried they were going to randomly decide to unstick mid-gear change :-/

If not itl be your lock up in the cold! Lol
