Bell Intercoolers

Not sure if anyone is in the market for one at the moment, Bell are no longer stocking them, and selling off what they have (they will still make to order). Just ordered mine.....

Got a Bell intercooler here.

Really good - but wish I'd gotten the black anodized one !!

Is your car remapped? you'll REALLY notice the difference if you're already on a remap as the stock intercooler is pretty poor.

I already have the MTE stage one tune, Ferrita cat back system and the ipd rear anti roll bar. More to come, watch this space....
What's the issue with the silver one?

Bumping this, was there an issue with silver?

Thanks

The black one looks more uniform on the car because the plastics around it are also black. Go for the silver one if you want it to stand out but i'm sure it may be because it's more dificult to keep it clean looking.

The issue is it looks nowhere near as cool as a black one

You'll need to cut the bumper and bin the grill over the front to fit it - its BIG compared to the standard one.

I had a good look around at what needed to be modified, it was only the price that had put me off. And I have an "economy" way of getting it back for the USA through work, so was a good time to buy.

you won't regret it, makes a very real difference to the car. Here's a pic of mine fitted:
