Just an FYI. I purchased a CSF aluminium radiator #3011 for my SC'd CLS-6 back in July 07 for $271.08 shipped. Got it from:

Cooling Parts Southeast
1304 MacTavish Ave.
Richmond, VA 23230
804-358-8866

Had to fab up four little brackets to fasten the cooling fans to the radiator (at the top) because they sit lower on this taller radiator. In addition, the hood got a little hung up at the top mounts, so I had to fab up two new mount brackets (not difficult at all), as well. The radiator itself dropped into the car with no problems and the hood closes normally now. Sorry, I don't have any pics.

The old stock radiator had a bad leak so I upgraded to the CSF one and the car stays cooler in the blistering stop and go traffic here in Florida.

There is another aluminium radiator from one of the vendors here that drops right in without any modifications, but its cost was a little to rich for my blood.

I did do a search on aluminum radiators for the cls, and it only came up with one match:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...light=radiator

Seems like he got this from exelerate, but when I went to their website, it doesn't seem like they make it anymore.

Is there any other aluminum radiator out there that will be a direct fit for a cls??

CSF is nice but the important part is that its two rows and not just the stock single row unit, basically make sure its twice as thick, otherwise your not accomplishing much.
