    I just sold my 30 last Sunday and it’s a big regret. Some intercoolers are that big for these engines that the bumper ‘droops’ slightly which looks like could be your issue. Also the crash bar has to be trimmed to accommodate it depending on the brand. S3 intercoolers are common as they don’t heat soak as much as the original and a straight bolt on. I’d suggest changing your brakes to r32 or s3’s if you’re running extra power too! I’ve had two mk5 gtis and both times had the wings and one had the boot replaced. I had VW paint the whole edition 30 while they were at it and I contributed to the cost. You should be in good hands if it’s the original paint. Helix clutch and DMF is the preferred clutch for the manual as it’s relatively light and will handle a stage 2+ tune from r-tech which should see you around the 400ft/lbs. The Ko4 turbo in these engines are brilliant and can handle so much more power over stock.
