Very nice.

How much cutting did you have to do? Its the only thing putting me off one at the mo, I can see myself screwing it up and it costing even more money

Looks like a neat job there.
I took ages doing mine to get it perfect, its a bit scary at times when you start cutting bits out.

Mortster i had to cut off about 3 quaters of the lip, and i had to cut a little bit into where the fogs sit....

Crowman i know what you mean it took me about 15min to actually make the first cut, and when i finally did i wanted to cry... LOL

Cheers chunk, i do prefer the fmic to the top mount, plus its more visibale....

I've sprayed mine black and put black mesh in front of it. Makes it a bit subtle, but goes well with my black & white theme

Cheers matey, i have a new ali rad aswell fitted as my old one was leaking. That was pretty easy but out of the 8 bolts i had only 2 that i could re use as all the others were rusty and brittle, so not only did i have to drill all the old ones out but i had to find bolts to fit the fans back on....
