Hybrid
I did look at the spoilers and i think that the evo would be extremely difficult to graft but who am i to say i believe in the theory you can do anything if you put your mind to it. So imagine the spoiler on the car (completely finished) now lets say you have not removed any of the bugs bodywork under the hood IE... the spare tire area. now put the oil cooler as far forward as you can inside the spoiler depending on how much room you have left between the cooler and the most forward part of the bug you could build a box to enclose the cooler and at the back end of this box you could use a NACA duct to force the air out onto the brakes now the NACA duct may face rearward of the actual brake but using a hose to route the air to whever you want it is the idea. Does this help if not ill E-mail you my PH number and you can ask me

Bypass
Just my 2 cents, and this may have already been considered, but you'll probably want to run a thermostatically controlled bypass for your oil cooler, as your engine will take a VERY long time to get up to a good temp with the volume of oil the front mounted cooler and lines will use.

Imaging how much damage a single stone would do to that! Its TOTALLY exposed! Scary. Personally I would have turned it 90o and mounted it such that the air thats caught by the airdam is directed upward and through it... Plus it would be hidden/protected by the bumper. Cya, Sam C

hi
there is a protective grill available for these oil coolers but to be honest it wouldnt be hard to make your own out of some ally sheet with holes in it . i dont think thats a racimex cooler anyway i think its from a merc i may be wrong like or mayby racimex makes them for benz?

Yea, just like the Bug Art bug in the Gallerie section, the black one. In that case the oil cooler is inside the front apron, covered by a grill, I think it is a more elegant proposal, in fact, you hardly notice it, and it is well protected.
Nice, I like that solution, but I think you may need a smaller cooler.

I've seen that kind of oil cooler before on a blue beetle in a VW Trends magazine... as a matter of fact it's the same article that got me started on the German Look... Thanks for the info Alfito. John
