Maybe i should go for a clubman front end. It looks like theres much more room inside that engine bay.
Cheers lads

Off the back of my head i think it's roughly 27 x 7 x 2 inches, basically measure the size of the hole inbetween the headlights, and its a snug fit!

[JA1987]

Ive always liked the clubman front and i think it makes more sense to have a clubby front on a turbo a series as there seems to be more space compared to a round nose (and for future reference a vtec will fit without extended front mmmmm.)

i have a custom made intercooler in behind the grill, i did not want holes cut in the bonnet or intercooler showing, trade off for that is the hosing is to long and to many bends
