thanks mate always good for some support 
By the way the crash damaged my fan so im currently running with no fan  . luckily it just sits above half way (as it did before crash) so im not worrying. However after xmas i concentrate on putting a GTI/VTS dual fan install in and popping in the power steering slab. ATM all monies is going on cosmetics and xmas prezzys  . Hopwever if you have a GTI/VTS fan give us a shout  ty

Paint the chevrons blue, get some black halos and u'll be onto a winner I think however won't it restrict airflow to the engine?
