So, hello all, been reading for a long time, finally decided to ask smtng.
The car is Corsa B, ī98, 1.5 teedee.
Iīve read almost everything about IC-s here but canīt find any SATISFYING answers.
Firstly, whatīs the conclusion - which IC is the most suitable for a Corsa B post 97 standard bumper???
I know cutting will be needed but Iīm looking for an IC which would go on with minimum cutting.
Now, after I found a suitable IC and mounted it on the car, I would have to solve the piping. I have no clue which pipe would go where. Need help!
Cheers!

Yeah, heard of a Frontera one, but also someone said it canīt be fitted onto a standard bumper. I donīt want an extremely large IC.
Is there a difference between IC-s?
I mean, are they all good, as long as I manage to fit it?

well.......

Here is an idea.

Have a search on ebay for FMIC's ...... get some dimensions etc and knock up a replica shape (use polystyrene or some shit) and see what will have to be altered.

On the punto a little grinding on the rad support bar was needed...... and the back of the bumper had to be ground down to clear

On the skyline the front bumper had to have slats removed in the lower grill, and the centre of the crash bar altered drastically..... but its a big FMIC
