I/C Radiator replacement

I got in a small car crash recently and it looks like i damaged the I/C radiator on my 2005 CLS 55 AMG. Now, to get the new part i have order it from outside of the country and wait for about 3 weeks. I was thinking, maybe there are some alternative solutions available? Like, modded version of this radiator? The original part number is A2115002802

If you need to replace the stock heat exchange definitely swap it out for an after market product. The OEM parts don't do well when you push the car resulting in loss of power. If you search on this forum you will see a lot of peeps swapping out their HE and Pump for consistent S/C performance.

Any particular products you would recommend? I am not looking into adding some major hp's to this car, just want it to work flawlessly, that's all. And if there are some cool aftermarket products which are offered at affordable prices, then i am all ears.

People seem to be happy with the Johnson pump but there are alternatives if you search the forums. As far as H/E go, PLM makes one (make sure that they've fixed the bolt specs for proper alignment) and MBH Motorsports does too. You can find previous posts on this as well.
