Fitted my Intercooler. Now, grill or no grill?

[_Tom]

Got the intercooler on the Bora ready for another map tomos. Now, do you think i should lose the centre grill? Im thinking to keep it on there but my mates say to get rid. Whats your thoughts people? Its all pretty understated anyway which is what i wanted. Pity i cant lose the piping either side..

I can't see any difference...

Nothing noticeable enough to worry about anyway.

get the grille back in mate, nothing worse than a stone flicking up, which at that level happens a lot - I sell ALOT of grilles lol

 

[_Tom]

Yeah grills staying. The cooler and pipes are all satin black. Was just a mega sunny day and I had to make it face the sun for my iPhone to pick it up! Haha

Tbh I wish I could get the side vents in..

 

[Will.]

I have only just noticed the difference. Just get rid of the grill.

is there no way to butcher them to get them to fit

Sadly not. With this style setup there doesn't seem to be any way around it. I'll might see how thin I can shave them down.
