fitting replacement radiators

I would like to change some of my radiators from single panel to double panels, they are all standard sizes etc, only difference is the incoming pipes will be in a slightly different position because of the depth. I have changed radiators previously, however this time my pipework comes out of the wall, into an elbow bend piece then pipe into TRV, previously i have replaced when pipework has been along skirting so its been a lot easier to cut, put a new piece on and bend etc, can anyone suggest the best way to approach this, or is it best lets to the pro's thanks,

    We have changed our single panel radiator for a double and used a Myson radiator. The mountain bracket is not so deep, therefore, did not have to alter pipework. Checkout your measurements on Myson website. Hope this helps.

    With the pipework being in the wall i would leave it to a pro, Get them to form bends rather than solder or compression to keep it looking neat
