Not easily.
 
I\'ve seen that same style of intercooler used as a top mount replacement - but the bonnet was hacked really badly and I would guess airflow through the intercooler was pants as it was basicall just poking out of the gaping hole he cut in the bonnet.
 
I\'ve also seen a similar intercooler used as a V mount setup - John Goodwin\'s FC has something similar to this - although I think his is bigger - and pipes are on the side:

Yes it should fit in fine just a bit of cutting and make some brackets up.
Mines not the same but you get the gist 4"core :D

Ok found a nice front mount kit available

Is there anything that needs to be ditched/altered to fit the front mount, and does everything look to be there?

Never fitted a front mount before so just want to be sure

If its at a good price then go for it but you will end up cutting a few holes/enlarging to get the piping through via the front inner wing bit. Most go through the two holes for the squirter bottle neck holes and then relocate the main screen bottle. Not entirely sure where this comes through with this setup. Cooler does not look too big so will fit in the front ok with your front end.

Been offered it at £200 mate, but is there a better one out there for the money, been told its official greddy but cant find any pics on the net of this style setup

Would have had jits but ya beat me to it ya git, lol

pdtaylor18

well thats still been made by farmer Giles  lol   All the pipes have been hand made but I will grind down all the welding and get them coated, maybe even powdercoat them. Still its a cheap way of doing it. Too be honest for a ready to drop ion system then its not bad value for money, you can buy a kit from Japan/china for a tiny bit more but then theres customs/vat etc.  Yours looks like a good setup as its complete especially if the BOV comes with it as well.
