A friend of mine has just bought a replacement radiator for his Elise S1 from these people

 

http://www.coolexperts.co.uk/

 

He payed £130 and I wonder if they could do one for the VX? Friend said the quality was very good.

I bought the Coolex radiator last month. The quality is good and it has a perfect fit.

Hello,

 

is the second Radiator on Your Photo for a Super Charged VX220 like Eaton or Harrop?

 

 

I bought the Coolex radiator last month.
The quality is good and it has a perfect fit.

I wonder if they could do a aluminium pre rad for the sc conversions?

 

The proalloy job is very nice but it would good to have a cheaper less posh option avaliable, especially as the temperatures the chargecooler rad are subjected too are much lower than the radiator...

Could always just use an Elise with A/C pre rad and save yourself over £150 :)

Apart from the connections are totally different so you would have to chop something to fit. I just fitted one a couple weeks ago.
