But seriously, about 440 wide and 300 tall is about the limit so yours should fit just fine :D

im pretty sure my clio one is bigger than that and it fits fine.... although ginge did have to modify two lugs off the top of it with a hack saw and a file when i decided I wanted it tilting forward more :D

flack the front frame on your gts looks very similar to the front frame on the roadster. did you make the inter-cooler or buy it in? either way it looks pretty

Rad/intercooler combo was bought in from GRS, well beyond me to make anything that pretty :)
