Sup guys, im trying to see some sick front mount intercoolers... doesnt matter if its with the stock bumpers or aftermarket.. im asking because im in the market for a front bumper but i cant decide wether i should go with stock and a lip or an aftermarket bodykit... any pics will help even if you just randomly found the pic..
Thanks for helping guys

 

stock ftw

 

stock ftw

 

+1

 

yep, stock w/ lip

 

Same car...same intercooler...

 

 

^^me likes. S4 ftw.

 

thats the route i want to go but doesnt a big FMIC make the stock bumper kinda flex?? would that cause issues with the lip?

 

 

mine

 

.....no lip YET

 

S5 with stock lip. Sorry I don't have better pictures.

 

^Sexy.

 

Agreed

 

I would stick with a factory s5 with a nice lip and put the intercooler further back on v mount like the rad

 

wow you guys have some sexy cars... but limbar thats stock?? mine doesnt look like that...

 

not saying that a fmic is better than the v-mount but i know my skills in Fabrication arent very good so that kinda scared me so i just went with what i could do alone.. but is a v-mount more efficient all around??

 

Front mount with stock bump with lip and fog lights and still has the front bar.

 

Zell that bitch is BAD! is that your car?? wow foglights too, thats the first time i think ive seen that

 

S5 front.

 

Cheers man yer it is my car did it when i was getting the motor rebuilt as i was after something a little more than the top mount, it was based on the Greedy kit but i made some mods to the front in order to keep the lights so it looked orginal as, only had to buy a couple of extra 45's and joiners to do it so the cost wasnt high, if you do end up wanting to do something similar let me know i took pics when i was doing it as i thought it may come in handy if someone wanted to do it as well, not sure if its worth a write up at this stage but yer, heres another pic to give you an idea on what it looks like behind the bumber.

 

I plan on doing a vmount with mine. I simply think the stock S5 bumper beats just about any aftermarket bumper. However, the openings are kind of small. Cutting the bumper more than what looks natural isn't an option for me so with a vmount, I'll be able to duct air to cover the whole surface of the IC and Rad.

 

here is mine...
