   What are you trying to achieve by fitting a different radiator?

   could paint the rad mate. but i don't think you can see the rad through the grill anyways. i assume you have the rad with the rear fan and not the front mounted one.

    your asking all the wrong questions here. if you dont no what one is for why would you want one on your car?
    
    If you want to be able to see your rad then your guna need some meaty front bumper.
    
    is this what you mean?

    No
    
    An intercooler cools air from a turbo before going into the throttle body
    
    just stick with a standard rad, and polish it with some metal polish, a 1.1 wont get hot enough to warrent the extra cooling, unless you drive like an utter dick
