wee up date. i had a 10" fan on the radiator and it was fine but once i hooked the trailer on and fulled the fucker with wood i noticed that the temp was getting higher than it had before.. so i grabbed a 16" fan as it would fit perfectly in the factory shroud but NO!!!!! well it did fit perfectly but even with moving the radiator back in closer it still hit the water pump. so i had to put it on the other side. and fuck me it blows......gets up to temp ...fan kicks in and it turns off withing a few minutes.....(just idling) and then i started on the spot light. (karl pointed out tome one day that there are dimples in the panel for mounting holes) so after drilling them out i mounted the ..............um ....mounts now all wired up and working ......even changed to the mk4 grill- 41 replies

sooooooooo i wanted some more lights as it does get pretty foggy down here and when i leave for work its before 5am. i dont really like the factory lights in the grills like this below and wanted to go more this way but the original carello lights cost chit loads and hard to find. sooooooo i found a guy in the uk that remakes the original brackets so i have a set on the way and decided to go with some hella comet 500 (in yellow cos euro) -
