Tempted to go for a slimline fan for my 205 so I can do away with the standard housing.

Ideally looking for a 12" one which will operate as a pull fan.

What have you?

    How do people neatly fit the grill without it, i assume the cars without this cowling are the ones with the grill not in line or the correct posistion ??

    I've lowered my rad on brackets when I fitted bodies but I left my housing in situ so the grill still fits the same way as normal currently although I will probably just fit a support bar under the grill when I fit my oil cooler.

    Will sort something out.

    I guess when you fit the slimline metal fixing brackets you could trial fit another around where the original cowling holes are with cowling in its place for the grill so it will be in its proper posistion.

    Thats helped me figure it out when i get round to getting mine sorted.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Are you like Stan? 2 years of daily use sounds reassuring. 2 years of admiration while it's sat untested doesn't.

    On another note, with them being 'unbranded', I've got to ask myself what makes them preferable over the sub £20 ones advertised on eBay. I need a guinea pig. Owain? Although with being an IT guy he probably has 54 small LED PC fans on his.

    It's on my track car, so not used every day but it does get some use. Pretty sure Phill uses them on the buggy and recommends them too.

    With all the recent supercharged 6's going back to standard to get some money back - does anyone have one lying around they wish to part with? Smile
