FYI: In the 'VW Speed' magazine of this month, there's an article in there on a street 1303 with an EJ20T engine and it doesn't give a clou from the outside at all!
He didn't cut anything on the front, just put the radiator behind the stock (slotted, the us-airco-version) front apron...Looked very slick!
Trans was a 915 with a manual (non hydraulic) clutch...
