Default New rad needed, best place to buy?

2002 prodrive bugeye sti, looking for a new rad as it's leaking from the side near the battery at the top plastic I believe.

I bought a new very cheap radiator off Ebay several years ago. Had no problems and the fit and quality was very good. Can,t remember the sellers name though. Just make sure of good feedback. Steve.

Thanks for all the input guys, I've had an alloy one before and did look good but for my needs it's not really necessary and I have a radiator cooling shroud so won't really see it lol. Normal oem one will do.

Most OEM type ones are sourced from here, I have had newage and classic rad from them quality is spot on
