Nice version 5 type r,think it was a wrc limited edition,with front mount.

Common cars around Northampton these Blue RA's think l'll get a Fiat Seicento just to be different

We fitted the FMIC that Simb supplied, it looks and fits like a Hybrid, which is what we sell. great bit of kit, does it's job, quality manufacture, fits nicely everytime.

You're only 20 mins or so away from us - call in sometime on a Saturday if you wish.

Good Luck David

We had a car here last week for an engine rebuild with TWO roof vents;

Na na na-na na !!

Yep, its a Hybrid mate, very nice bit of kit and the lads at APi did a grand job of fitting it. There will be a thread soon on the work i've had done, the front mount a small part of it, along with a 2.5, 20G etc. Keep your eyes peeled in the members galley.

Seriously, we'd be happy to see you and show you an intercooler set in our display.

The Hybrid is a very good quality intercooler and not only look the business outside of the car but the pipe work underneath is just as good!!
