Your meant to bolt it directly under the headlights mate, yours is way to low, pull the front apart, headlights out and bolt up!

Exactly mark, you start by mounting the cooler FIRST under the headlights and then go from there!

OMFG. maybe they couldn't be bothered LOL. It's abit of a job. As stated, you need to remove the front grill, remove the headlights & bolt it onto the headlight tray. My first kit was a monza & it never sat that low. Pipes were even with the bottom of the bumper bar

Mounting a cooler takes an hour tops, even if you've never done a VL before. Including disassembly (not including people with Group A SS front bars, i feel your pain boys) Scott dont post on my account again with your terrible grammar hahaha ---------- Post added 14-04-12 at 16:09 ---------- ill post with heaps of terrible gramma
