Have got a 45 degree bend silicone hose, offered it up but the oil lines are right in the way going to the oil cooler in the side of the rad, whats the options on this?

I had that same problem so mine now sits in the same intercooler area but twisted a little bit towards the passenger headlight :D

On my old 5 i used a 90 bend and it sat more towards the headlight area, sure my friend has done the same to my new 5 aswell but I had relocated the headtank to the scuttle area on my old 5 and he has on my new 5, i'll post up a pic of my old 5.

A seperate oil cooler would get rid of those awful rigid oil cooler lines! Expensive option though!!
