I would like to slim down the front end of the car. So I’m looking for a Tropical radiator. I believe these radiators are not so wide and are three row giving improved cooling. Is this correct? The other option would be fit a rad on the steering rack, but would there be sufficient cooling for a 1300cc engine? Yours Steve I

What about a top the range Mini radiator? and some of that special coolant that runs at a lower temperature (can't remember the name).

Tropical radiators are wider than the standard european ones. 
It's better to use standard radiator and place it closer to the gearbox.
I've seen 1108cc engine equipped with 845cc radiator and fan, it can be good for you.
Although we have wider radiator with two fans, most of the engines are boiling in extreme temperatures (35C+).
So I fitted a Citroen C15 Diesel radiator, wich is much wider, with two flat fans.
