It was only an eBay jobbie but is a very good kit comes with everything and was £170 delivered at the end of the day a pipes a pipe I can always swap out the intercooler for a branded one at a later date, and yeah had to cut the bumper as its a 3" intercooler but is easy enough to do

You have to cut a fair bit off the inside of the bumper and depending on the kit you will have to relocate or change the coolant overflow bottle. You will also have to replace or modify the bumper support bar depending on the kit.
You will also need an induction kit.

and you have to be happy to do this to your car:
