Default New radiator

We'll had a new polo radiator deliver from the bay, nicely packaged, opened it up and a load of damaged fins.
Contacted the vendor and FairPlay to the guy he is sending out a replacement when I asked about them collecting the damaged one they won't bother as it would cost more than the price of the radiator

Straighten the fins with a flat screwdriver and sell it on.

Cheers

You could use one of these and it will be as good as new

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Well it certainly Is decent value, with the Free postage.
Although I suspect the Tape measure is rubbish.
