ANYONE FITTED THE FORGE FMIC WITH A CUP FRONT BUMPER????

Post by ryanday91 »

Ive had my cup bumper painted ready to go on, and it doesnt fit as it hits the bottom solid pipe on the forge fmic,
is there anyway around this, or will i have to get the intercooler modified?
dont fancy cutting the bumper after paying 560 from vw for it!

help please!

I havent used a cup bumper but ive had to hack into my own a bit :/ its easier to cut the bumper down than modify the cooler setup!

Forge and Seat intercoolers require modification to the normal bumper, does not surprise me that you have to mod the Cup bumper to get it back on.

Enjoy.

cheers for the replys, just would prefer to modify the intercooler and save me cutting a brand new bumper, as theres plenty of room to play with
