Not quite correct :lol: I fitted them to someone else's car and I got the ones from the guy in france as I purposefully avoided the chinese ones :winkey:

Mopa,
I have both those items you mention to fit to my Williams.
They look good to me.
The hoses I went for are black and marked Samco !!
I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them up.
I purchased them for EVOBits.

I can get the hoses and rads for anyone if they need them. I can get the cost down loads too if a few people want them. I import them myself and the quality is spot in!

The white bits you can see are polystyrene balls not bent fins!
