CSF oil cooler fitment issues?

Has anyone here fitted the CSF oil cooler to their cars? No issues with the lines but I’ve had a couple of issues with the mounting points:
1: the top part of the oil cooler doesn’t really slide into the bracket properly/entirely - I’ve used zip ties to hold it in place and it seems fine
2: this is the big issue: seems like the oil cooler is hitting the protruding vent on the fender liner to the point where the liner won’t sit properly and is causing alignment issues with the other plastic under trays as well.

Any idea how to get the cooler to sit properly and get the fender liner to sit? Should I cut down the inside of the liner?

I just installed it, put I got the M235 version of it, because I wanted to have the two oil lines to be on top, I’m using the M235 none sport oil lines.
I’m having the same issue with the top not clicking in, because the attachment is too tall (Doesn’t line up perfectly).
but again I’m using M235 oil cooler and I thought that was the reason it was not lining up.

I don't remember having any issues with the installation (besides taking the headlight off to aid in installation was a bit of a pain). No rubbing, brackets aligned, etc... It's been a while since I installed mine (and I replaced it with the D088 cooler). Wish I could help more.

Did you have issues with your fender liner going back on properly? I think I’m just gonna end up cutting up my liner

Actually I was thinking about that, but I didn’t put it back yet.
I would try to cut the plastic that holds the oil cooler to make it fit, (since you’re using zip ties,), looks like it’s easier and cheaper to replace,
There two plastic cover on top of each, one stays in there, and the other one is holding the oil cooler ( bracket) looks removable.
Maybe if you take the plastic out then make it click back then install the plastic and the cooler together.
Check it out and let me know.

Unfortunately I’m going out of town today for a while so I guess this project will have to wait lol

I’m thinking that maybe I damaged the frame when pulling the old cooler out - will try again with a new bracket!

This is how it looks now , but I’ll give it another try later.
M235 oil cooler is not as wide as the M2 oil cooler.

Yeah yours seems to be in the same position as mine. Let me know if you can get the fender liner on

Sorry for the late response but I figured it out - you need to install the cooler into the plastic bracket BEFORE bolting in the lines. If you bolt in the lines first, it's impossible to push the cooler into the bracket.
