Default Radiator compatibility

Hi all, my car is currently with Richard Henry Motorsports in Bradford after getting an annoying whistle sorted - and I got called today advising me of damage to my radiator causing a leak when the system is at pressure.

I've asked them to try and source me a radiator before I need to collect the car at the weekend, but if they're unable to obtain one - I'll bring the car home and try to source one myself.

To help narrow down my search, what "donor" cars can offer a matching radiator for my 2005 Blob WRX STi?

I may end up getting a brand new one / pattern part but if I see an eligible second hand part - I'm always happy to save some $$!

Wouldn't expect to pay any more than £100 for a new one.

Could well be a false economy buying a second hand one.

Fair enough, I'll see what RH can turn up between now and Saturday and will give mattybr@poleposition a shout if I end up bringing the car home without a new rad

Cheers guys
