Dunno how other people have gone on with mounting there rads, fans and coolers but f*ck me, its tight. . . one of the fans still slightly catches.
The bumper just fits, the turbo has somehow just cleared the rad, although it will need a water pipe modding because thats sat on the rad
I could have mounted the fans at the front of the cooler I suppose but didn't want them on show, and its dangerous







I raised the back end slightly to allow for all the parts going back in ie seats, tank etc . . . hasnt gone down as much as 1st thought, might bring the coilovers back down a touch. . . The fronts catching on lock
Will want fetching up a tad

Thers a place near him that makes them up
So he's got that to sort, wire in the alarm and ECU, and fit the exhaust
