Ahh that's not good buddy. The intercooler on the gti is sandwiched in the middle. So basically from front to back you have condenser then intercooler then rad then fans.

I bought a used condenser. Just after the rest. I have noticed anything wrong with intercooler like boost leak and the radiator seems fine but for piece of mind have all the pieces there for fitting then sell on if I don't need them.

It looks as though something with a tow bar went straight in the middle through the grill push the bar and into the air con. Prob a 4x4 or something. Literally the air con rad is pushed in and bowing. As there no space between each rad and cooler??Hoping the bumper hasn't been replaced with non oem. Good fit if it's rep tho. I have text the person I bought it off and surprise had no reply.

Bowing curved in... my eyes must be good to have seen that. shame though, sad to see someone having such issues and not knowing what's what.
