Gaz_O'Rourke Member 30 Member For: 13y 12d Posted 03/06/14 03:04 AM Share Posted 03/06/14 03:04 AM Hey Ive just fitted my new PWR stepped intercooler on my FG, Bumper in back on fine looks sweet however the black undertray in having difficulty getting it right. seems to be suffereing from a see-saw like force which I can only put down to the intercooler affecting it,If I fix the undertray at the front of the bumper the back wont pull up and visa versa.question is can I live without this under tray or is it neccessary to prevent road grime and dirt and sh*t being thrown up on moving parts like the steering rack or something.....intercooler is fresh out the box and polished and shmickunder tray is an asshole can I take it off?

Then it will fit. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88414-black-plastic-undertray-attached-to-front-bumper/#findComment-1476111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing inexcess of...we will say 100km/h and it caught a gust of wind and pulled all the screw out of the bumper and it flew out the back of the car, scared the faaaaark out of me and then it was never able to go back on.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,564 Member For: 17y 2m 11d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/02/15 11:02 AM Share Posted 06/02/15 11:02 AM You can leave it off, it may potentially affect your fuel economy (in a bad way)...but just do what OZYWALKER said and cut out that plastic mesh reinforcement if you are trying to get it back in place with an intercooler in the way.
