Water Cooler Substitute

Hi,
I'm from Berlin in Germany and in my country it is nearly impossible to buy a water cooler for my car. The one I have has unrepairable damages.
Sometimes in such situations it is possible to use a part originaly build for another car and my question is: Do you know what car this could be?

ps: if someone has a water cooler and want to send it to germany, please tell me :-)

Commonly known as a Radiator..or Rad.

You could hit up Ebay or some Website like it.
Koyo Radiators(that is the name brand) are a common replacement on an FC .

Fb?..maybe www.blackdragonauto.com

If your car is a 1st gen like in your avatar, then you can indeed fit a series 4 or 5 FC radiator with some bracket modification. Ive got a koyo twin-pass for an s5 in my sa22c. I did have to redesign the brackets and inlet/outlets a little bit though.
I live in a hot climate and have turbo so needed the bigger rad.
There are 1st gen specific rads on ebay ( mostly made in china so quality could be hit and miss.
