Spoke to them today and the price quoted on their website is for the core only. As they don't manufacture an off the shelf Monster rad, it would have to be a custom job. In addition to the core price, there would be a minimum £140 charge for fabrication work + extras for hose connections etc. I have sent pictures of the original rad and they will be giving me a ball park price on the custom radiator. I am expecting a total bill of at least £300 so not quite the bargain I expected.
As I get prices, I may see if there is enough interest from existing S4/S4R owners to do a group discount. It seems that the custom fabrication work is the expensive part. I'll post the response as soon as.
And the moral of this story? If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Best regards all.
