custom oil cooler

if u were to replace the stock intercooler with a frontmount, would it be possible to either convert the stock intercooler to an oil cooler or make an oil cooler where the stock intercooler would normally sit under the bonnet scoop? just to give the engine bay a stock look i like

any thoughts people???

you can do anything you want...its your car...

but really I don't think its good idea to have the oil cooler on the engine simply because of the reasons people move the intercooler out of that position

If you are worried about cooling issues on the oil cooler after putting a FMIC on, on find yourself a MONSTER aftermarket oilcooler and some fittings and go to town.

But you shouldn't have any issues so long as everything is clean and functiong the way it should....belly pans also help by leaps and bounds...
