is there much room to lift the intercooler up ?

cant really see how much would need cut to fit from that photo but it does look like a fair bit :scared: you don't want to sacrifice the overall look.

Hehe, just because bumper i won't change the IC. There is no so much cutting to do, just small part.And yes, it won't ''hurt'' the overall look.

we will find out today
