Standard for me and never even thought about buying an alloy one as the standard one does the job well enough

Airtec.
I think the original cooled better though. I had my original re-cored but after a while the tanks started weeping so decided to change over.

custom 1 off grs in the fez ive built behind a custom 1 off grs cooler

had them made so they fit tight together to keep a high pressure air flow to rad
also use 2 kenlow fans and low temp sensors and switch

and also made carbon fibre air dam to fit on bumper so there are no gaps between the bumper and cooler so all the air goes through the cooler

also extended the bumper in hight by 3'' to get a bigger surface on the cooler but kept the number plate part that goes across

included in that is a mocal 16 row oil cooler that sits in one of the fog light resesses with remote filter housing and diff cooler for the focus rs gear box in the other side


everything is aero quipped also
and the temps are just fine never gets too hot
