Finally got around to adding in a driver's side auxiliary radiator on the CS.

I did some data logging beforehand to do comparison and see what difference it actually makes.

It's a fairly easy install, just 2 connectors (one on the thermostat housing and the other on the main radiator outlet) and a few hoses. All OEM stuff from a Golf R, might do a full write up with part numbers in the future.

No leaks so far just one nightmare of an airlock but that's tomorrow's job!

Unnecessary? Yes. Do I like having them? Also yes. Had some spare time and soldered them on - just wished they were a little brighter. Hoping that someone will release higher quality ones like you get in the new BMWs or Audis.
