I have a cinq rad and I think it would bend a little. I just can't see it being done easily without squashing the fins though. And I wouldn't want to put any pressure on the end caps. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I bent my cinq rad over the back of a large space heater doing a small bit at a time. I made it so that it followed the curve of the front panel to free up some space.

I use it as a mount on my car too, as that is what it is for. As andy says, it can be cut off, along with lots of other bits and bobs. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Me and rich did my cinq rad on the bottom of the passenger seat of the scirocco. Little bit of curve, just enough to fit in the gap provided |
