Ding ding! That's where I'd want mine if I had one. Far away from FMIC, radiator, and VTDA.
Hans, I assume that you had to custom fabricate mounting brackets for that location, right?

Yes....there was fabrication>>>
on the outside...on the inside we used the lip from the OEM SMIC tab and the pre-cut holes in the cooler....this cooler i picked was a BIT wider than others and was a tight fit...but as you can see, we managed! ;-)

here's what I did: I planned to install 4 of these. Three inch flanges from Aircraft Spruce, overlapped to simulate the Audi Rings, with the license plate moved to the side, over the "drivers" alien door. I couldn't make the plate work (I've been ticketed twice for no plate, it has to stay)... so, on to plan "B", two of 'em!
the oilcooler is in the passenger side SMIC bay and the driver's has 2 3/4 inch TTDA feeds.. No bumper...
I may not be able to live with this... I like yours better! a simple replacement of the license cover will restore it, so I'll run it for awhile... nothing ventured, nothing gained!
