Awesome. Heard pd130's had stronger internals compared to pd100's. I was just gonna up the turbo on mine until someone told me, now im not too sure :/

What hieght is your fmic? I have just got a larger one and i never thought of mounting it like that but it looks perfect fairplay. I was going to remove the crash bar and make a bracket up. Im not sure if my new one is taller than yours and will push on the bumper floor if mounted like yours so any info would be great cheers like hieght of cooler and gap between the bottom of it and the bumper floor.

Bar and Plate Intercooler Corn size:

550mm x 225mm x 64mm,

Overall length:

710mm 2.25" (57mm)

Inlet and Outlet Maximum Pressure:

45psi

Max Horsepower Capacity :

450hp

It fits peferctly heightwise tbh.. if it was touching the bottom of the bumper i could have taken abit more off the crash bar ;-)..

I do need to get it sitting deeper though for when the pipes go on.. i used up all 4 grinding wheels at work just cuttin the amount in the pics so im waiting for them to re-stock lol :-\

So 225mm height would be about 9 inches i think, mine is 11 :/ i have a plan now though with help from your pics

well went 2 leeds vw fest on saturday.. turned up after lunch so was parked about 10miles from the main bit in the LONG grass lol

and one with my m8s mk4 20vt

Well after a sucessfull day at edition38 buying + selling iv ended up with a set of BBS RC041/042 staggered 2 piece split rims :-)

They need splitting the lips polishing + some lower profile tyres but here they are as i bought them...

On another note.... i sold the bentleys :-(

yes! they look awesome.

Noooo loved the Bentley alloys!

yes! they look awesome.

Thanks bud.. do need polishing tho..

Noooo loved the Bentley alloys!

I do miss them abit :-/.. but the chrome was peeling + i was guna have 2 powdercoat em red 4 the winter.. so i spent the money on the splits i wanted b4 i got the bentleys :-)..

Guna get sum propper tyres on n polish them up so they look like this.. but with a darker red...

Little update.. iv decided if im polishing/ chrome powdercoating the lips of the new rims then i need a winter set.... soooo... iv bought another set of bbs rc041s lol... this time not staggered.

Guna do these crackle black centres... gloss black lips + hopefully gold nuts + centres nut in gold.. with a red + gold bbs logo..

So going for this kind of look for the winter but with gold centre nut (if possible) + red + gold bbs badge..

Sounds good mate!!

Love the progress of this mate and really impressed with the new wheels :-D

I think i prefer the new wheels! Its nice to say 'ive got bentley wheels' but the BBS splits are awesome!

looks wicked =) and thanks again for helping last week i love it haha

Good job on the car. I've always found both the mk1 and mk2 fabia's a bit ugly looking especially towards the rear! However, this one is an exception! ;-) Personally I think the hatchbacks are better looking. I want to de-chrome my front grille as looks so much smarter. How did you do your grille?

I got the smart repairer at my work to paint my grill but i wouldnt recomend painting is as it peeled off.. he re-did it for me but its started peeling again!.. most people on here plastic wrap then with either gloss black/ satin black or carbon wrap.. i think im guna have to go down that route next..

I had mine painted 9+ months ago and it's still goin strong!
