    If you raise it, put some anti-chafe such as rubber insertion underneath it , between the radiator support member and the base of the FMIC.

    Looks good, definitely needs to be lifted up though.

    Whether or not you can get any anti-chafe under it depends on its shape, plumbing flexibility and core thickness really. Yours looks quite low and set well forward, and I'm assuming inlet and outlets are on the same level, and you might be a bit restricted as to how much you can lift it. Mine sits on my radiator cross-support. It has a sloping top edge but some self-adhesive rubber insertion still gives it a good cushion to sit on. They are quite heavy things and tend to bounce a bit on rough surfaces, so any protection you can give it is a good thing.

    Would be keen to see photos of the piping, especially to see where you've run it on the drivers side.

    Yeh the piping is shithouse on the drivers side coz of the windscreen washer bottle being moved but I put it on the left side where my airbox use to sit

    well the kit i bought was for a 3mps so i had to chop and change a few things but most of it fitted alright. had to move the cooler up higher and cut out some of the radiator support to run the pipes through. i mounted the cooler where i wanted it and cut stuff out to make it all fit then i got my local exhaust shop to modify some of the pipes so it would fit.
