I have been in contact with Radtec who make ally rads for a variety of cars, they do one for the Polo Mk3:

On ebay they have them for £276 + £20 postage.
I have asked them if they will do a group buy price and they are willing to do them for £252 inc vat and postage to individual addresses if there is an order for 5.
Is anyone interested?
Yes!
Hmm, possibly.
My intercooler is made by them and its top notch.
That's 3 then.
2 more orders then I will get the ball rolling.

So far it's:
Robin x 2

Not sure.
We know that the quality of radtec is pretty much one of the best you can buy so I personally rather pay for something I know is top quality.
Put my name down for one please.
I got a Radtec intercooler on my Cossie and the quality and performance is spot on compared to my old Pace Products one.
Robin x 2
Andy
Jezza?
g40mark
Just need Jazza to confirm he wants one to make 5 in total now.
when would you need payment by? I'd be in but not be able to pay untill after payday which is the 24th of november would this be ok ?
I am planning on ordering them certainly this month probably 25th at the very latest.
Ok stick me down for sure.
When would you want payment?
As there are 5 people now I would want to get the money together ASAP so I can order them next week.
I will drop everyone a pm in regards to payment.
i've had a radtec rad in mine for over 7 years now, highly recommended
the mk3 polo one is same one as used in caterhams and westfields.
does it have to be the same? Id quite like one thats a bit longer...
If you can give me the dimensions you want I can always ask them.
cool, need to get out to the garage and take some measurements!!
forget it! std size would be fine!
However on the ££ side of things, I'm not going to be able to give a decision till after your cut of date so it will have to be a no for now.
Unless they can take a small deposit and wait till after pay day.
Also I have a non std fan, how do you attached a facet stlye fan to these, Ive brutally used cable ties through teh crappy std one I have but wouldnt fancy doing that. Guess I'll just need to make brackets.
I'm out I'm afraid guys - someone down the road was selling one of these from his Westfield for a bargain price!
As Andy has pulled out i will move the deadline to near end of this month. So lets say 25th November as the deadline.

going to have to give it a miss I'm afraid. Spending too much on house shit at the moment :(
Robin x 2 - Paid
G40Mark x 1 - Paid
Jezza x 1
Confusion Hunter x 1
Closing date is 25th of November chaps.
I'm going to have to pass on this one aswell, got other things that need doing on the car first not to mention Christmas. Sorry
i might well be in for one of these, when my sponsorship clears
25th is still well before pay day so Im afraid still out. sorry
Group has ended now as several people have dropped out so I can be bothered to waste my time.
Managed to get 3 radiators for the same price instead of having to buy 5.
I was going to get on to you this evening about one of these :-[
Cash waiting... Dont suppose theres an extra one about, no?
surely if they did a group discount for 3 radiators, then we can just wait and get a couple more together when everyones been paid?

??? ???
This only started on the 11th! This is only 10 days later!
I hardly think you've wasted you time if you've acheived your goal of getting a cheaper radiator regardless of other peoples involvement (or not)!
Regardless....Thanks for initially showing willing to help and making contact with Radtec and showing their willingness to discount.
I feel like i have wasted my time because several people said that they wanted one and then pm'd to tell me they were out because they have to spend their money on other things, my personal opinion is that you either want something or you don't, don't jump onto the group buy when you know that you want to spend the money on something else. This gives the wrong impression for the person organising the group buy especially when its going to be hard to get the full numbers anyway.
However if people want to add their name onto the order then please pm me and i will add you onto the order before they get sent out next week. Confusion hunter when would be have the funds to order a rad? I will ask if it possible for them to supply you a rad at the same price if you were to pay for a rad at a later date as a part of the same group buy.
Chris when does your sponsorship likely to come through?
To be fair Rocket, you asked who was interested - not who had the cash to give you tomorrow. Stop being a bellend.
Fair comment.
I have offered to add people onto the order to get them the same price and also offered to see of radtec of they are willing to hold the price for orders made a little later. If I was being a bellend then I would have replied saying I wasn't going to help anyone out.
