Well, Im actually getting ready to go trade in that license plate for the slim european style plates. they just give out the wide ones for americans because our cars are set up for the wide plates. I'll pull off the black plate mount and put it directly on the factory plate mount on the bumper. It'll open up the lower grille for more air as well.

 

not to mention a much cleaner look

 

Anyone know where to get Euro Plates here in the States?

 

TTstuff.com, eBay any VW meet...etc

 

How would Euro-plates be even legal in the US? What's the point if it's not perminent? Is it a show only type deal or is there some kinda loophole that lets us mount em'?

 

So if i'm looking at you're intercooler install right Neurotic - Im guessing if I do eventually get the Tcarbon FMIC - My long tube C.A.I. will have to go - since it's routed behind the Driver Side Headlight[] or is there Just enough room maybe to keep it there?

 

You should be able to keep it. Once the side mount intercoolers are out, you should have some room there to route the feed down into the lower side grilles.

 

Just watch out for water, wouldnt want to hydrolock your engine.

 

He has a 180, does the tcarbon run a 225 manifold like forge? If not, he hasno worries

 

Thats a good question I am guessing not for that price, they probably use a intercooler with the in and out on the P/S.
