The Polo rad size varies depending on engine size.
The smallest IIRC correctly is from the 1.1 and has the inlet, outlet and thermo take-off all on the same side.
Bought mine from Volksbits in Birmingham (they sell on fleabay) but be careful you order the correct one as they charge considerably more for the 1.1 than the 1.6 one - ask me how I know!
Just as a thought - can you not angle the rad slightly forward at the top? That not only gives it a lower profile but helps efficiency.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe
