Fitting W8 undertray to B5 RS4
..can anyone confirm if this is as simple as refitting the original or if extra work is needed e.g. drilling new holes to align with those in the bumper.
Thanks
Thanks

I think most of it is pretty straight forward, only gripe is the lower intercooler hoses, as you'll see the originaly tray has a recess for these.
Don't think no one has sucessfully fitted one though....

It probably was in the past but I didn't get one with the car.What's wrong with yours? Smashed?
I was under the impression MRC fitted these as replacements as a matter of course, anyone?Don't think no one has sucessfully fitted one though....

the holes all line up so no need for drilling. as TradeRS mentioned, the lower i/c hoses will press against the W8 belly pan. a heat gun was used on mine to mold the plastic. i've seen others cut a rectangular hole in the W8 pan to accomodate the i/c hoses.
