IC Heat Exchanger Fitted

Think I have just about finished the tuning mods to my SL55. Have fitted 19" AMG Type IV wheels, Quaife LSD, Removed Secondary cats and resonators, Renntech Lowering Module, Eurocharged Remap and SC Pulley and latest Bosch IC water pump. Had the Eurocharged (C&R) IC Heat Exchanger Fitted today and here are a couple of pics.

What about airflow over the oil and engine radiator? It seems like the IC radiator is blocking a lot of the air that would normally hit the engine radiator.

Doesn't car run hotter in warm weather 80F+ ?

when you fitted,you hooked intercooler in loop with the old one , outfrom top of the standard intercooler ,and looped down to lowest inlet on the new one ,to have water flow up in that radiator, and come out on top and return via pump ?

I know they left the original Heat exchanger in but not sure exactly how the water flows.

Still looking
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that bottom one you're talking about the oil cooler?

Yes the original Heat Exchanger is behind the radiator and still there.
