Anodised Radiator Cooling Panels

[ironhide]

Hi guys,

 

I've recently had a fabricator create a custom anodized radiator cooling panel for my 350z, he previously did one for my Altezza and the quality is excellent.

 

I've managed to arrange a one off group buy and thought i'd post it here exclusively for an initial 15 orders.

 

These panels are made from lightweight aluminium and can be anodised in pretty much any colour (See below)

 

RRP is £50 + P&P

 

For this one off exclusive 350z-uk group buy it's £40 + £5.50 p&p. (Uk only)

 

Here's the prototype:

 

Final product:

 

Fitted to my Zed:

 

Colour options:

 

The first batch of panels are being cut very soon so lead time shouldn't take too long, depends on the anodisers availability.

 

I will leave this group buy open until the 5th April (As i'm away from the 23rd March to 4th April) depending on interest. It'll then take a couple of weeks to get them anodised and posted but i'll keep you up to date on progress, once we get numbers it'll be quick and easy

 

So if you're interested please list your forum name and preferred colour in the list below. Please note, this is on a first come first serve basis, I already have two guys that are interested, so only 13 left.

 

Cheers guys.

Looks good under the bonnet and potentially forces more air through the radiator thus increasing cooling potential...but mostly for looks

I haven't test fitted it to a HR to be honest so couldn't say, is there any difference except the hole?

I could use this to help the air flow better through my obstructions .at the front of the engine.

Yes unfortunately. I got a flat one off fleabay that was flat. I had to enlarge the cut out on the right and build up the back with 3 layers of double sided tape. It didn't last so i took it off, although it does deflect the air.

It's not flat underneath and has dips in the moulding.

A flat one just does not sit on it without a lot of work and swearing.

I think R-T measured up for some HR carbon ones as he did a thread using my car.

It died a death for somereason.

If you search through R-T threads it will show you what I mean.

I will have a look as well and put a link up if I can find it!

I have a feeling a shade of purple maybe required.

[4RE Leather]

Its as I thought. You need to shape it.

Ah I see, it could be done but as you say the flat panels won't fit most likely. I don't have a HR handy either to test fit/get measurements, maybe in the near future we'll see.

I think that would look rather good under your hood

Purple would clash for me I'm afraid, and I'd be seriously interested, but in working on a titanium version, once I find a supplier that doesn't cost £5k a sheet!
