Fitting oil cooler
Hi
I am in the process of fittng this oil cooler kit (http://www.advancedautomotives.com/s...kit-1844-p.asp).
My problem is where do I mount the actual oil cooler and how do I get the hoses to it?
The oil cooler is large and will fit inbetween the from cross member and the rad but only about 50% of it will be visible from the front so is this a good place?
I have thought about alternative places but the only real one is the drivers side front wing as I have removed the intake resonator thing.
Any ideas?
Also, does it matter if it is mounted with the pipes on the side or the top?
Here is what the car looks like at the moment:

Your top pic is exactly where I have mine, inner wing is considered vert good with a feed from the fog cover and a vent in the bumper or splash guard to let the air out.
I can't fit into the wing as its full of FMIC pipe work!

Thanks a lot for your photo.
I watched the Mishimoto video and it helped but I am still concerned about only 2/3rds of it being exposed.
I am tempted to get a 13 row oil cooler and mount it upside down (i.e. so that the pipes are on the bottom) so that most of it is exposed to the air-flow. Is this any good or would the 25 row be better as although part is covered, it is still better than a smaller one?
