Hi guys,
A while ago I fitted an aftermarket side mounted intercooler to my A3 (8L), but couldn't refit the stock plastic duct because there didn't appear to be enough room behind the front bumper. After reading on the forum about the effectiveness of the duct, I'd like to attempt to fit it, but I've had another look at my bumper and it really looks like it's being pushed out already (without any duct!). I suspect that the reason for this is because of my fog lights.
Surely someone else must have come across the issue and refused to sacrifice their fog lights for better air flow to their SMIC...?
Can I have the best of both worlds?...What should I do?
