Hi all, my 4th gen rad sprung a leak , so I'm going to fit my koyo aftermarket rad will I be ok to remove the rad fans altogether or would anyone advise against that, Has anyone already removed the rad fans ? I'm sure the engine will keep cool enough without the fans but would be nice to have opinions.thanks.

u can remove the aircon fan if u like but u will still need a rad cooling fan as its a high revving engine so will need cooling - im not sure the standard fan will fit the koyo rad so u might need to get an aftermarket slimline unit ;)

Deffo keep one fan if it's a road car. You don't wanna be sat in traffic on a hot day with no cooling fans mate.

Definitely do not go with no rad fans, it will overheat in traffic (or even during the MOT - ask Edu...)
