corksport radiator panel fitment?

Those of you who got the fiberglass radiator panel from corksport, how was fitment? Did the panel have to be modified at all to get it to fit properly?

I got mine, and unfortunately it is not fitting that great at all. The holes don't line up exactly, and it is offset too much to the right for things to line up nicely.

That sucks!

I hope mine wont have the same issues, because I actually got a notice from the post office saying that my rad panel arrived.

I'll have to install it tomorrow and check to see if my fitment is allright!

Corksport have a great customer support! maybe you should leave'em a message about your fitment issues to see if you can work something out

If you got the actual instructions they tell you you have to modify it to fit.

yup. i had to take my high-speed dremel-type thing and shave various parts of the panel. it's now on the car fitting fine.
i just wish i didn't have to modify it like that (i thought that is what i paid for). but anyways, not a big deal.
