   the saxo doesn't really need a bigger rad. But I'm sure with enough effort it could be made to fit.
   
   From memory One issue that you will have is that the Gti6 rad doesn't have a air bleed on the top of the rad which makes bleeding the system a bind

   If you have a furio one after your conversion, uprate it to a VTS one.

   A vts one would be more than sufficient.

    Fiar play if its an easy fit... could have got the same effect by fitting a cooler thermostat though.
