Amjad Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Search on TGTT, topic was covered the other day apparently you don't necessarily need bolts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 either way it will cost you no more than around 6 quidbetter cooling as well i believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Don't bother, it doesn't provide any cooling at all (unless the car is sat still). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
