Default intercooler and rad for 2wd saff

ive just bought a rs500 style intercooler for my saff,its meant to be a direct replacement as im not drilling or harming any metal on my car,but can you fit a uprated radiator aswell without drilling?

does any1 run a 500 cooler and standard rad? its a 280bhp saff that im talking about,want to know really if its worth getting a new rad because mine is in good nick,or if just fitting the intercooler and keeping my rad would be a good idea,or upgrading the rad aswell so both intercooler and rad are uprated items but like i said i dont want to drill the car.

its a airtec cooler by the way

As said will fit no problem, the std rad is not the problem, it is the piss poor cooling circuit design(on 2wd).
