I'm sure the radiator only comes out from the front which would need the removal of the bumper and bumper support rather than the fan set up. One a 1.6 the single fan should be more than enough cooling.

All I know is that a radiator from a cabrio is different!!

yh i never had problems with my old 1.6 over heating, in fact i think the fan onlykicked in like twice the whole time i had it, it relentlessly stayed at 90oC
