EDIT: Can you do lots of photos when you mount yours? I'm assuming you're wanting to keep the stock radfans?

Mate I've already got an FAQ for this, and it doesn't even require photos!

Step 1. MTFU
Step 2. MTFU some more, and just do it already.

Saw it on eBay but phoned them direct. JJCrally or something. Really helpful, got it next day with free postage.

I'm not massively sure on how to fit it, but I'll stumble through it and take plenty of pics. No aircon obviously, think I've twin fans so I might remove one and mount there.
See what works I guess

Aaah nice one

I found this guide on the '6 forum for people who want to keep both fans:

Just looked over it again, and it appears he's used wire to fix it to the inside of the bumper; not sure I wanna do it that way; I think I'll be using the brackets on the bottom of thecrossmember just under the fan unit, and mounting it that way.. Not sure yet; no doubt I'll work something out when I give it a go. Either that or I'll give up and just go with the wire method in the end after much swearing!!!

[Ian]

I saw that guide too. Dont think ill be using wire to hold mine on either... Although there was two cable ties in the box...

Deffos keep it all picture documented if you don't mind; I'd be very interested in how you do it before I start fannying about with mine...

[Ed Doe]

tell me you're kidding!

[Ian]

Yeah. Its french. twist and pull right? lol

[Matt]

It's twist, pull and punch yourself in the face

[Ian]

Well snow has preventing this from being fitted so far. Might crack on with it today despite the driveway still being covered in the cold stuff.

[Dum-Dum]

Ian Id clear the snow first and get a mat to work on mate

ED stop being such a f*cking pansy, MTFU, my missus could fit an oil cooler

[Ian]

Well it's all done. Didn't bother with a mat. Cold floor FTW. Got tons of cuts on hands due to radiator being made out of razors. And surprisingly the car was harder than I thought, I managed to break some tools on it! Pics to follow when my hands thaw out

[Ian]

Oh and I haven't refitted the bumper yet. Need to check for leaks tomorrow.

[Ed Doe]

nice one buddy

haha! I remember before xmas last year; I spend the snowday on my arse in the snow under the car trying to fix a blowing exhaust! Not cool!

Get your piccs oooon!

[Ian]

Rightio, as mentioned pics are up in the form of a little guide as requested by Ed. Here they are. <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1470" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1470</a><!-- l -->

[4WayDiablo]

Looks good. I take it theres a thermostat to stop it getting too cold

[Ian]

Yep.
As i use it daily I needed to have that.

[Ed Doe]

Cheers for the faq buddy I'll be reffering to this when I fail at making mine nice and symmetrical
