Removing Intercooler Without Removing The Front Bar

[turboknapp]

I think if your asking if it can be done, then clarifying its a BA after being told no. You should get someone else to do the job

Just park it against a tall box curb, then reverse away. Bumper will be off lickity split.

just put your cooler on the outside then you wont have to remove your bar again

just like this turkey

I'd prefer not to have to pull it all apart if I didn't have to but if it needs to be done it needs to be done. I'll give it a crack. Thanks

If you cant take the bumper off then you will have no chance in being able to take the intercooler out. The bumper is easier to take off then the intercooler is. it will take you all of 15 minutes for your first time.

Undo the bolts/screws in the front inner wheel arches, undo the bolts underneath. Take your number plate off and check to see if there is 2 bolts behind there in recessed holes (may or not not be hence saggy bumper lol), pop the clips off the sides (the bumper sides will seperate from the guards), then slide forward. Make sure you unplug the fog lights once you can access behind the bumper.

It actually sounds harder than what it is.

I was just trying to be lazy and do the minimal amount of work required. I don't see it as a hard job just wanted to reduce time if possible

and by "separate", he means "sound like they are ripping apart" hahaha.
