I went electric
I finally made the leap and ripped off my stock fan and shroud.
I bought SPAL kit from Dewitts (twin 11" fans)
What i'm wondering is if anyone here has installed this kit (SP460) in thier C3
I haven't decided where to mount the relays and fuses yet, and where the best place is to splice into the battery.
Thanks for any ideas
Mike

Re: I went electric (77CRUZN)
i took the battery lead off of the starter, works good. get the switched 12v power off of the wiper motor wire, only comes on when key is on. the relays fit really nice on the drivers side cowl between the brake booster and wiper motor. looks live chevy made a place for em. the fuses i put on the right side by the a/c box. will post pics this afternoon if i can figure out how :D yesterday it was about 107 here. on the drive home in stop and go with a/c on max cool, never got over 200. youll like em. opens up the front of the engine compartment nicely too. good luck, regards, fng

Re: I went electric (77CRUZN)
I've got em...and love em. In traffic, my BB temp used to gradually climb. Now, it hovers tween 192-200. My only complaint is that the fans' downward angle allows dust to be blown into the engine compartment and the front end.
My fuses are on the firewall. Relays are on the driver inner fender. Juice comes from the remote solenoid mounted on the firewall.
