Had this installed on my 1.5T, wasn't too sure about the fit because there are 2 versions but thankfully my Mini dealer confirmed the exact model, and Forge sent the correct one :)
Looks amazing in powdered black, the size increase is so visible, the original one looks like a toy in comparison.
No issues whatsoever and i am waiting to update the map on my 1.5T for unleashing the true potential of this amazing product.
Superb product, super recommended!

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.

I am having trouble in seeing if i have a 7 bar or 11 bar intercooler. I have as you say looked through the grill but i still cannot work it out, what difference does it make, is it the fitment of the induction pipes. Sorry if i am being a bit thick, maybe someone could contact me .
hello , the amount of tubes denote which intercooler will fit, if you can remove the front bumper to obtain the oem part number from the intercooler and foward that to me i can advise you on which intercooler you will need.
