   I have a 1.1 forte 2001 and need a new radiator. What size is it?
   
   550mm or 390?

   Yeahh i feel ridiculous asking this question! When i go to measure it i'm not sure if i should start from the water filler to the other side bleed screw? Or just the metal grill
   
   The length of the grill is 330mm but from filler to bleed it's 550mm.

   When buying a new one, buy the smaller one.
