do a search in this part of the forum with the word "radiator" and you'll find a bucket load of stuff. 馃槈

BTW, love the idea of a subie in a 52 split!

Take that all you purists!!!!馃

Cut the bonnet if you want it up front. Nothing is irreversible.

you're a bad man HRM 馃槀

In the spare wheel well with a scoop cut into the panel underneath. Then you seal the radiator in so the air has to go through it out the panel in front of the beam.

AS I said, there are a number of past posts covering this.
