Hi taken my front bumper off to fit an fmic and found what looks like an oil cooler, the fmic has not arrived yet but will it interfere with the install?

I dont think so as the fmic should bolt up to the bumper support bar which sits infront of your cooler pipes. Btw the cooler pipes are for the power steering.

what fmic have you? as i have a after market fmic on mine, all i had to do is cut the bumper suport bracket at each side of the intercooler to get the bumper to fit again,

how much do those pipes stick out? you can line your front mount up (even though you dont have it yet) with the bar that runs just below your headlights. in the pic the bonnet is just covering it. the front mount will come straight down from that bar.

have fun cutting your wing by the way. and get some extra silicone now as you might need to cut pipes depending on kit and model car.

oh and get some mikalor clamps as dubilee clips will just fall off every five minutes and do your head in.

have you looked at a fitting guide for it? there is a good one on here somewhere that shows you step by step. would help you alot. theres alot of cutting involved. get lots of jigsaw blades or what ever you wanna use. has your bumper got a front lip or anything on it?

Seen the fitting guide ta .Do you know if the clamps that come with the hybrid are up to the job?

dont know what clamps it comes with. mine came with dubilee clips and they blow off all the time. since ive fitted my mikalor clamps i havent had one blow off.
