Just remember to factor in airflow, both for the rad and through to the underside of the car. :thumleft:

yeah, i might take out the aircon pre-rad as the aircon doesn't work and i'd never use it anyway :thumleft:


do you have mesh in your bumper?? i need to source some but if it looks ok without i won't bother.

Yep, it has/had mesh. I've still got the template for the undertray if it's of any use to you? Depending what make yours is?

I had designs on making a full internal shroud to direct air through the rad only, blocking off the side side as they were originally designed for brake cooling. All in a bid to clean up front end airflow.
