Slam Panel/cooling panel ???
I like the look of one of these just for the bling factor as I like to keep the engine and bay looking good. I was wondering if it actually makes a difference to the cooling system as I found this statement from some of the manufacturers.
Radiator panel reduces the engines water temperature by up to 4 degree's Celsius. Tested on Race Tracks, it helps keep you car running cooler, especially during hot summers. It can withstand temperatures of up to 140 degree's Celsius. Also a fantastic addition to the looks of your cars engine bay !! :wonder: |
I've just bought a carbon fibre one. Can't see how it reduces heat but I only got it to smarten the engine bay up.

Hi there greatgonzo.....
I went for one of these and bought/fitted by RCM. I to read about it and had my doubts. Anyway, my water does stay cooler than it was before BUT i have no water temp gauge that displays numbers, all I can go on is the needle on the water temp gauge. I knew where this sat against the picture behind it, I know for a fact it now sits lower and so cooler. In real terms I have no idea what this means in deg's C, etc, nor do I know if this means its better either, but suffice to say, "it does what it says on the tin" |

Happy days, flash as well as useful.
