I like the idea of a rad pack, but like you i think it would be a nitemare to fit/remove with the front panel being as it is.
I do need some way of sealing my IC to my rad tho, the intercooler sits around 25mm away on the pass side and around 10mm on the drivers. So one or the other doesnt sit square, the rad i think...
Thats going to be my next "project" then, sealing the rad and ic together
