It doesn't look obvious that the panel has been replaced, but i surpose it could of been done well. Just can't see why someone would go to the trouble of fitting an Aircooled panel on a watercooler. The lower grill that was covering the panel went from indicater to indicater (South African??)

With the SA grill it shouldn't be much of a bother to create one eh?

seeings as the rad is colled in main by the lower grill, it would not be a clever idea to block it off.......... i suspect that the original poster has overheating isuues........
