DundeeDub 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I have an additional oil cooler and was wondering if anyone knew if there was enough air flow if i mounted it behind the grill instead of in the gap below the number plate.Any thoughts or ideas would be great Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 i think most people just mount it on one side of the car but tilt it downover a little so it catches the updraft of air after the front bumper. Link to post Share on other sites

DundeeDub 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 anyway back to the question do you think or know if there is enought airflow behind the grill, want to try and keep the car looking as oe as possible hideing everything away Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 behind the grille would be ok, but maybe not behind the radiator, if you put it behind the bumper somwhere it wont be seen, just hide it behind the bulk of the bumper and tilt it a little.oh, and that isnt my car by the way. lol i wish it was though. lol Link to post Share on other sites

VRmonster 1 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 if it fits go for behind the grille. just make sure those bolts are tight,you dont want it moving and damaging the rad. Link to post Share on other sites
