Default pro alloy coolers 65mm vs 100mm

hello as most of you know i need a cooler on a budget lol

theres a 100mm pro alloy on here at a good price but its in a escos so will it fit a 3dr and does it need any fab work or will it go straight in

and on pro alloys website they sell 65mm coolers for £410 and state they are rated to 600bhp+ are these any good and are they better than the 70mm airtec

also airtec now do a 100mm cooler for a cosworth for £395 all in, its the same a wennys car so wondering if the car would need modding for that

Like said before you'll have to remove the front crossmember and replace with box section to fit a 100mm cooler

Would be a great advantage to have a removable crossmember bolted from the chassis legs

Not that much - 70mm is pretty tight and the lights don't go in easy

Mark,the pro alloy 600bhp plus 65mm core cooler is £410 plus vat,so your looking at £492 in total.I just purchased one of these,hasn't been fitted to the car yet so I cannot give you any feedback,top quality workmanship gone into the cooler I have to say.

Thanks.Lee.
