Do you want to mount it right behind the front bumper or just inside the engine bay?

Also remember that size is not everything. If you have a core that is too thick, that will impact on the radiator cooling! Which is not good.

Well if you base it on the stock thickness and just make it wider and taller you wont really go far wrong.

Mine is around 600x400x60 (mm), but it as yet is untested.

Also the make/type of core you use effects flow. Bar and plate tend to flow less than tube and fin, but the cool better. Its swings and roundabouts.

You could always save yourself a lot of time and trouble and just get something like the Apexi front mount.

I think the chasis legs are about 700mm apart. if this helps
I agree with fish on the sizings. i think that as a rule of thumb the longer the core is the lower the temps will be. also a wide core will restrict the air flow to your rad.
