TRiX carbon Fibre Radiator Diverter For Gen 1 Mini R50 and R53
The TRiX Radiator Diverter is made from 100% Genuine Carbon Fibre with a
clear gloss coating and is NOT the cheaper carbon
effect. This our own design. We used a M7 one as a guide and made modifications
to it to suit our needs. This has been made to channel as much airflow through
the radiator on all Gen 1 Minis.
The gap between the bumper and the radiator allows air to flow in all
directions and at times the air can arc over the radiator rather than go through
it. This diverter stops that from
happening by channeling the air only through the radiator. This leads to lower
operating temps. The car will stay cooler for longer and it also makes the
cooling fans more efficient.
We designed these to work with the OEM rad and also the Fletcher Alloy Rad. The
cooling temps on our demo car were so greatly improved that we didn’t feel the
need to use the alloy rad any more and have reverted back to OEM.
We have only made a few of these so we could trial it on our demo car,
so this isn’t a line we expect to stock indefinitely. If it is something owners
like to see then let us know and we can continue to produce it.

Fitting
instructions
This is a moderately easy item to fit if you have
the tools. Bolting or bonding the TRiX Radiator diverter plate to the bumper
and fitting the foam (optional) around the outer edge.
Although this is a relatively easy job which should
take no longer than 10 minutes to fit. If you are not confident, or don’t have
the necessary tools, we always recommend professional installation as no
instructions are included.
Please contact us if you require fitting, or
fitting instructions.
Bolting the diverter to the bumper mount with 13mm bolts and washers
with self tapping screws (included)
Bonding the diverter to the bumper with Epoxy or similar adhesive.
All fitting hardware is included so the decision is yours.
Please not. If bolting this on, you may need to adjust or use washers to
allow the mounting points to attach without cracking. We have fitted a few of
these and sometimes they go on perfectly, but if you have ever had your front
bumper off it may not have gone back in the same position so this may sit funny
unless spaced out. Or the mounting points adjusted.
Even so, it is a very easy item to fit and adjust. Again, contact us if you are
having any issues and we will be happy to help out
