Up to you.
The standard gte/gsi/sri rad and fan "works" fine

You'd only need one of those fans! I have a 12" on my manta and it never rises above halfway with it on

£140 for a rad and £70 for some fans?? Is it really worth it? People have been doing the XE conversion for a while now, and i'm sure no-one has struggled in this area.

Don't waste your money on (the bling). As said it's not needed and only you will really know it's there.
