So today i set about seeing how the fmic will sit so stripped the front down and discovered my radiator is worse than i thought but hey ho. so first thing to go was the front fan unit. its unbelivable how heavy they are!

Test fitted the cooler

Plenty of space

This setup was great as the whole of the cooler was on display meaning maximum air flow on to it however the piping would be a night mare to do! on the drivers side. so i turned it up side and made use of the mountings thats already on it. This means i can mount the cooler staright onto the cross member for a more stronger hold and oem fitting and it makes pipe routing easier as i plan to go over the top of the cooler an throught the passenger side

Still got plenty of cooler on show but i love the way its hidden and not all shouty!
