   Fits fine mate. you will need a new fan (Ebay universal slimline fan and fitting kit) and you will need to cut the bottom hose shorter so it fits the vts / gti radiator.

   You wont need a new fan, its a straight swap aslong as you either cut down the bottom hose or fit the vts bottom hose. Cutting down is fine

   The fan is not a straight swap there isn't any where to bolt one of the fan surround legs to because the the vts rad is longer than the vtr rad. So you can either bodge it with a cable tie or get a cheap slim line fan that makes it look better and has far better cooling than the standard vtr fan.

   You dont need to remove the vtr fan to change the rad though, the radiator comes out without touching the fan, hench how i changed mine and still use the original fan and a 16v rad

   depends if the fan is mounted in front of,or behind,the rad wether you can use the standard one
