We're all boneheads here... S70

I don't know if Nissens makes a non-plastic side tank radiator, but I'd look, and consider it as an "upgrade" ... other stuff "down there" includes the intecooler and the AC condenser.

You might also look at the Volvo skidplate, see the Volvo accessory catalog, although I don't think it protects the radiator area all that well. (I installed mine when the car was 6 months old after being amazed to find that it wasn't standard equipment). Yes, I've run over a curb and no, the radiator didn't puncture although it might just be luck. A skidplate was on my SAABs from the factory.
