Re: thermo fan

thanks for that ,already had a look they are not cheap but worth it when you consider the brand is a oem replacement for cars like ferrari and such ,if the 16inch fits i will use it just need to measure it up as my bay is stock with air con act ,but i think it should be ok , :thumpsup:
