Anyone ever bought one?
I'm talking about the "Supercore" one
I have a problem with mine, it has no top mounting points and doesn't have a hole for the fan switch 
Taken from their website:
Nova/Corsa Supercore Radiator
Ideal for ease of conversions
High performance copper core radiator for fitment on novas with high underbonnet temperatures or cooling problems, e.g C20LET, and C20xe. copper cored for better heat dissipation.
Price: £195.00 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
