   Hi.
   
   Allways liked the idea of the bright fans behind the grill.
   
   Just wondering how i go about adding a 2nd fan to my vts?
   
   Thanks.

   You dont, you get the second fan, and then sell them to me
   
   Apologies for the lack of input

   I just bolted mine on - it'c not connected up yet as I didn't have the time to sort out a relay for it and wiring it upto another switch.

   So its not as simple and just splicing some wires lol >.<
   
   Can i just take a fan from say a 1.1 or something and put in?

   no some fans are too narrow.
   
   Well the fan only has two wires going to it - but I wouldn't want to run both fans off the wiring for only one fan tbh, IMO it'd be a risk I don't really want to take for the sake of having another fan working when the car gets hot. I fitted mine with the intention of wiring it up so I could turn it on by myself.
   
   I'm sure if you took a feed from the battery, and fused it, and then ran a switch to the cabin then it'd be fine.

   there are 2 types of fan that I know of - the poverty spec ones (very thin) and the wider ones (vtr/vts iirc)
