Can you take the whole...
Hi,

I mistakenly purchased a 240mm EK PE rad for my new build, when I meant to buy a 280. Been compiling parts for my build for a few weeks so I didn't realize it was the wrong size until after it was painted. Perfect for a white build, or gently wet sand use the white as primer and paint it...
