If you're after a proper aftermarket Rad, I can supply Radtec products for any make of car including the Koenigsegg if you happen to have one

seriously though PM me if you want a price top compare against what you find.

dan i dont want a aftermarket rad tbh, they aint any better than a normal rad and more times have poor quality cores and are over priced for what they are

hence me wanting either a standard rad or a copper core one,,,,, copper is the BEST way to make a rad more efficient

my company can get standard rads from valeo/international radiators or nissens,,, just its a plastic end cap thing again that i dont want

Ginge, problem with copper is although it's the best material to transfer heat, the material used to bond the core isn't... This is why alloy rads perform better. A top quality alloy core would be the best. Something by AH fabrications for example.
