          When in doubt look at the parts fishe. If the parts came from the factory they will show up there.

            No, they didn't come with oil coolers as standard -- just that plastic 'dummy' grill between the side-scoops.
            However, fitting an oil cooler is reasonably straight-forward, and desirable if you've hotted up the motor.
