And now with the help of Evan I've fitted the radiator, as well as some fancy retaining clips that add a few spots of red onto the cam cover.
Overall a good look I think:

Edit...
And then I thought I'd do a side by side of the engine bay compared to when I bought it. Not standard for sure, and much of it is bling that folks would say is pointless. Except as I've mentioned below, it's stuff I like, and that's the point.
I'll also point out that that the radiator is better cooling, the intake is better breathing, the heat shield is better airflow and the little red bolts on the engine is replacing the clips that were pulled out in a head-off event. The rest is bling though, fair point.
Check the difference, for the price, fair updates I think:
Overall a good look I think:
Tips
- Coolant flush mmkay
- Air-con pipes foul the radiator fan cowling as far as we could tell
- An angle grinder soon sorted the problem
- Bleeding the radiator didn't seem to be an issue some talk about it being a pain, but take your time filling with no bubbles etc - and all seemed OK
- Washer bottle pipe wasn't/isn't the right size, but cable tied OK.
And that should be it... except that I've ordered a gearbox boot rebuild kit and a new exhaust muffler.
And I can't wait to fit both!
