Rieger front with front mount?

**cmorse** · 01-28-2009 01:58 PM

Does anyone know if a Rieger front will fit with a fmic? I am looking at getting a new front and am concerned about it clearing my fmic. I would like to be able to have the rs4 mesh also.
Thanks for any advice

You'll be able to fit just about any front mount behind the Reiger. Search.

Any idea on the piping aswell? I forgot to put that in. My piping right now is real close to the 2 front mounts. I have to remove them to remove the bumper. I did some searching before but could not find anything about the piping.

2 front mounts? what the hell are you talking about....

Dude search, you can fit a FMIC behind any front bumper, with the Rieger you can fit one thick core and huge piping back there easily, I've done it, and just like with any FMIC youll have to trim it a little bit.

Sorry, let me try and explain. Besides the front mount, I am concerned about the piping. My piping is really close to my stock bumper and the 2 front mounts of the bumper. I am wondering if it will clear the bumper and still let me have the mesh. I was trying to multy task and I guess I did a bad job of explaining. sorry

Sit down take a deep breathe and know you can fit anything behind that Rieger. You're making yourself look like teh noob of noob FWIW.

Bassed... I still love that front plate! Everytime I see it, I want one with that color scheme, I forgot where you had previously told me you got it from (family somewhere?) which country plate is that again?

Black core looks awesome Ian. I'm a fan

Ian, how thick is the core of your intercooler?

Thanks I was too, that was the old greddy

I want to do all the piping and the core with a BBE coating from Swaintech, but am not sure yet. It is aluminum and looks nice as is, but I liked black and want to tie the car together with black wheels if I coat the new setup black.

3" (d) 24" (w) 15" or 18" (h) it's a Garret/Precision core with everything else fabed up.
