if you have a Clubby shaped mini & you want something a bit more "Bling" then you can use the VW Golf alloy rads,,,They fit across the front easy peasy & come with a thermo fan & housing allready to go, a bit of alloy angle & 2 holes in the bonnett close panel with 2 rubber washers & jobs done!!!...i used one of them for my turbo mini years ago & worked a treat,,,still got it here somewhere actually


how much would one of these rads cost ya? a new golf or and older one?? or doent it matter... what sort of bracketing do you need?
cheers :o

He had a `bling!' alloy aux radiator, dunno if it was a Golf heater core or what. Definitely wasn't a X-flow rad, he still had the Mini one in there.
