Default GRS Intercooler

Hi,
Was fitting my intercooler today and the bonnet does not shut. Do i need to put bonnet pins on for this or can i do someting else to keep it looking good without pins poking through my bonnet.

Check the intercooler isn't sitting on top of the wiring loom...

Hi there, when I had that intercooler fitted in my car the bonnet shut, how have you fitted it?

Fans, Intercooler then Rad?

I had slight bonnet fouling!

I have the rad (Slightly moved back on custom brackets)
Then a slimline kenlowe fan, then the GRS out front.

Was slightly fouling the tops of the end tanks and was sat down on the crossmember as low as it could go. The further forward it is mounted, the more it will catch...

When I got the car the fans were fitted to the intercooler and the intercooler was up close to the rad. Never had any over heating issues.

After a while I took one fan off and still no problem.
