Check out Jano Oddkids thread mate: pics on there of his with GRS fitted, and pics of where to cut the panel.

Do a search as someone else asked this not long back

cheers peeps didnt think anyone had replied to this
yeah i dont want to cut the whole front out really if it can be helped, just want to cut out the remainder of the lip were the original fan cut out is to were the front grill mounting brackets are, see if this gives enough space?
might go for one fan first see what temps are like

How do you get it to mount up properly? Ive cut my front panel out, and not quite as wide as yours and all the metal that the bottom clips attach to is no longer there? Or do you rely on the top clips only?

Thats what i thought aswell, tried clipping mine in and i didn't fancy losing it under the wheels so i left it off for time being.
