That would bring your 10mm up to 15mm, you'd then need a bit of 15mm pipe so you can get the valve on.
Depends on how much of it you would see, could look unslightly.

You can get 10mm rad valves though.

Edit, any reason you want to remover the rad? Check the BTU of the towel rail your putting in, many of them don't have very good outputs, especially the chrome ones.

you can get 10mm valves or you can use reducing sets these fit inside the 15mm valves and the 10mm pipe just goes in you dont see anything just depends if youve got enough play on your 10mm tails

have a look here mate, i posted these the other week, note how high the towel rail is as i think they're better higher up the wall, if its placed low down like the radiator you tend not to use the bottom half of it and higher up you will, also chase the pipe work in the wall and use a bit of chrome pipe and valves.
