Default FAO People with GRS intercoolers on S2

Fitted my Intercooler this weekend, with slimsline kenlow fan. does anyone else have trouble accessing the bonnet clatch to open the bonnet?

also i had to move the rad back that far, the alternator fan cut through the bottom rad hose

ive fitted a shorter fan belt to solve this problem.

p.s. I dont recommend doing this as the bonnt is eaither shut or not, whereas with the latch you have the bit in between

p.s. dont get any probs with the latch with Pro Alloy cooler
