[Speedy_vrs]

I have a seat sports kit on my fabia and brothers girlfriend has a forge on hers tbh I personal profer the seat sports but there both exspecive tbh :( look around for a 2nd hand one they can be had for £350-500ish you can get a seat sports cooler and piping from your local TPS :-) I have the part numbers around some where if you get no joy

okay cheers mate looking at lowering her 1st but deffo want an intercooler even for the looks rather than performance

[joe_vrs_tdi]

you wont get much "looks" with a fmic behind the standard bumper, they are barely noticeable unless your looking for it i think.

[DIPPY226]

i want to windmouth it and black mesh it i think it looks mean as

[joe_vrs_tdi]

nice! I have decided to go this route aswell.

[DIPPY226]

yeah looks awesome just need to find some funds 1st and need coilovers, what exhaust r u running ive been offered a milltec down with a decat and the rest a powerflow straight through but i want it to sound nice but not stupid like a tractor. its only £200 though so might be worth a look

[joe_vrs_tdi]

i just have the back box replaced with a pipe at the moment but going full piper system with no silencers soon. That sounds like a really good deal and it should sound great. I bought coilovers first aswell for the look and handling so best of both worlds in one purchase.

I love the look of the wide mouth but it's just the crash bar lets it down a little.

I might get a spare bumper and give it a go!

I've got a pro alloy full front intercooler. I love the widemouth look. Just had to sacrifice most of the crossmember :-)

I've cut a few bumpers at work for the big intercoolers, it's not that bad as long as you take your time.

Thats how much is covered bt the crash bar ive also got wide mouth bumper

[redcupraboy]

Personal opinion I'm not keen on the Seat Sport FMIC, due to the fact of the cutting and hacking about you have to do to make it fit.

I prefer the Forge set up.

[Speedy_vrs]

There was no Cutting and hacking involed on my Ibiza pd130 they do a correct crash bar for it well that's what I had with my Ibiza very similar to the forge set up. Both are can be highly prices but defo a good upgrade no more clips breaking and pipes blowing off

[redcupraboy]

There wouldn't be much cutting for your car as it was designed for the Ibiza originally

Ths do a intercooler that's the same as a seat sport intercooler but a lot cheaper than the seat one

That looks really good! Cheap aswell - did you have to cut away at the crash bar?

[phil555]

I have the Seat Sport FMIC kit on my vRS and she has the wide mouth front. Looks very mean IMO. Got a different plate on now too.
