Bent radiator fins - any good method to straighten out?
Just bought my M2C about 2 weeks ago and I'm in the process of minting out the front end. I'm down to the radiators - obviously they are quite exposed on the F87 so they are susceptible to slight bending. Does anyone have any good methods at straightening them out? I started out by using a long flat head screw driver, but it didn't really work like I waned to get the fins back into position.

After watching this video it doesn't look to me that such tool is of any help. I think you should get a better job by carefully sliding in a steel bar of suitable diameter, maybe 1.5 to 2 mm

Are there any downside of bent fins other than cosmetic?
