Default Fitting pro alloy 500 i/c

Is it better to feed it from the bottom of the car or from the top?

if you can move it out the way to get the cooler thru then best of luck - i tried with my pace rad and 500 style cooler - defo needed the rad removed due to the outlet pipes hitting everything

can be done without removing the bumper but you gotta take the car up high enough to get room to work

rough time - about 40 mins to an hour, including bleeding the coolant system once all reinstalled
