When searching the PF i can see people talking about slim line fans instead the original (fat) fan.
What make is the slim line fan and where do you buy it ???
Looking for a double setup betwen IC and rad.

Proalloy sell the SPAL range of fans which are pretty slim. Be careful of buying SPAL fans off of eBay - most are cheap copies, but the Proalloy ones are the real thing

OK thanks, been looking around.. SPAL centre thickness = 52mm / Kenlowe thickness = 46mm (GRS motorsport)
Does anyone know if the Kenlowe thickness is meassured at the centre ??
Would both fans fit between the rad (orig.) and the IC (Pro Alloy) ??

Kenlowe are the thinnest, the only down side is that the centre nut is prone, so if the Intercooler moves it can puncture the radiator. The Spal fans are slightly thicker, but do not have this issue. Providing you mount the Intercooler well, I'd go for Kenlowe, from GRS.
I've used both and they are both excellent in terms of performance.

OK thanks for clearing that issue. 
I think that i will fit the rad and IC first, to see if there is any movement. Would not want to puncture the rad since that is one expensive item.
