Where are the rad fans being mounted mate, in front with pushed air or behind the rad? Assume you'll be going slim line fan route?

Cool, reason i ask is i am about to fit some slim line fans to the back of my new ally rad (as the standard ones are too tight to fit) and im curious as to how you will wire them. Are your fans 2 wire as per most aftermarket fans i.e. ground and live? If so are you going for just single speed setting or run one low, one high speed? - assuming of course you are not using air con any more.

I still have a/c so think i can only run one speed setting per fan.

Paul

P.S those wheels are lovely, a great choice!

No actual work update as the sheet hasn't been lifted for over 3 weeks again but as usual I have been buying more parts lol
New wheels have landed,exhaust courtesy of Rossco,vibe speakers for the front doors and the bulk head dry break fuel connectors for the boot floor had landed with Alex at Torques UK and I'm the first to have them as these's ones are the prototypes so I feel very privileged!
Also got some carbon mods canards for the front bumper.

After contacting Carl Davey and being told he no longer stocks 20mm spacers I had a word with my good friend the metal master Bennet and hay presto he came up trumps again and here's the end result,even grooved for o-ring seals!!

Got the rear K-sports installed today along with finishing up the brake lines,just need bleeding now.
Fitted the bulk head dry breaks into the boot floor as the next job is to finish up the fuel lines underneath the car.
Also had a trial fit of the wheels,they are fooking massive and I love them
