That looks like the Avonbar intercooler kit for the Metro. It sat the intercooler under the normally blanked off bonnet vent on the drivers side. |

Could well be, it's a bespoke item (i.e. not OEM)

Like welding, once you have the right kit and a bit of practice, it's easy to get the hang of.

The downpipe knuckly bit looks quite low. Is there anyway you could cut and shut that to get more ground clearance? Or is the subframe in the way. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

It's a bit of both. It's excayly the same height as it is on a mini, you just never see it from that angle. Not much you can do really.

Well I wasn't convinced that much air was going in through the sidevents to the IC. So in true F1 style...........

I think the best way to make it work well is going to be to add a duct on the bottom of the IC and vent it to a low pressure point on the back of the car, On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:
