No mate, haven't had the pipes yet but they are on the way in the post somewhere in the country. Could probably do it myself, just thought if someone had already done their own it would be quicker with a bit of knowledge.

The hardest bit about fiting a FMIC ie removing, cutting and refitting the front bumper all of which i got done by a bodyshop as i wanted it painted anyway, fitting the actual intercooler is easy.

I would of happily helped as we've done afew of these before, but currently I haven't the time as I'm either working alot or working on the pug trying to rebuild it all for the track.
Though if you need advice, there's plenty of us on here who could help.
Depending how handy you are with a dremel and how much time you have to fit the front mount, take your time and do it right. Cut small amounts away and continously go back and forth to mount up the bumper to see if its correct.
Time wise from previous experience so to give you an idea, with roughly 6 people it takes about 8hrs, alot of this is down to the bumper cutting.

Don't forget that 3 people will be eating bacon butties and drinking tea, 1 will be giving advice and the other two will be swearing and doing the work.

Done a few now, including taking mine off a few time to paint it etc.
What year car is yours???
I'm really busy at the momnet but don't mind giving advice if needed
One thing I will say is get the pipes either painted or powder coated before fitting them. They corrode very fast, which goes through to the inside!!!

I'll be happy to help mate
Some very useful fitting guide's i could copy off the P1WOC, also a good guide on bumper removal
DannyBoy - can you recommend someone to powder coat the pipes ? I've bought a 2nd FMIC and i want to send the pipes off to be done to go on the car when its being put back together
