Connecting a towel radiator

    I would like to replace a couple of panel radiators in my house with towel radiators. The pipework is run in the wall and exits the plasterboard just behind the bottom edge of the radiator. It is practically invisible with the current rads but is likely to be more obvious with the towel rads and a bit unsightly. Is there an "elegant" solution to make it less unsightly using fittings or is it a case of rerouting the pipework. At least one of them is on a concrete floor so possibly looking at having to move the pipework behind the plasterboard.
    Thanks.

    The routing the pipework required. Bear in mind most towel rads will not give out as much heat as panel radiator of similar size.

    Thanks for the reply. I thought that might be the case. Cheers for the prompt about output as well, I learned that lesson a few years ago when I undersized a radiator in our extension.
