Default Carbon Radiator Splitter

What do you guys think of this. Its a carbon radiator splitter and is only avaliable for the 2002+ models. Im waiting for them to come out for the GC8 model so i can get one

They normally retail at £110 + delivery. At the moment, they are £85 + delivery (£10)

Insulates radiator from the intense heat generated in the engine bay

I'd pay £85 for that. Seems reasonable.

Might be reasonable for a sheet of carbon, but who the ****'s gonna see it. Don't think your cars are that sensitive to weight

If looks are your thing and you like showing off the engine bay, then go for it. Maybe I'm just a tight northern monkey Either that or you lot like throwing money away. Give me £85 and I'll knock one up out of carboard

BTW, Cusco do an ally one.

Apparently few been sold already. Maybe you should make them Ozzy and sell them and make some money

Nah, don't have the heart to make sooooo much money from such little material

You'll be after a carbon battery cover, carbon air box, carbon fuse box next and carbon underpants next

Stefan

P.S. OK, so I made the last one up

Money,

If you could borrow an alloy one for a classic, i know someone who could make the carbon versions for us and maybe a few more to sell

Carbon is all bling bling

Some air flow is lost around the radiator. Theses covers are supposed to force the air into the rad by preventing escape over the top of the rad and making it run cooler.

Just how much difference (if any) they make is debateable and I've never seen any before and after temps.

So, that's why I suggested making a cheap one yourself before (potentially) wasting money on a bit of carbon that's doing sod all except looking great in a closed bonnet

This ones $54, but for 2002+ models only.



Is it snakeoil or not?

Meow! lol

Why waste your money on a scoob that is common as muck now instead of getting something else. lol

To be honest, i dont think ive seen people with it on over here and maybe it wont pick up as it has in US or Japan. I just think it looks great in carbon and im getting it for my classic when one is ready

Shiny is nice, but is very boring now - carbon is the new in thing. you see everyone with nice shiny water bottles or nice shiny battery covers but how many do you see thats carbon

Just something different

I have a GC8 one on my car atm, livens up an otherwise ugly slam pannel. Though had to cut a hole for my bonnet pin. £85 sounds quite a good price really
