There are so many ways to go on this subject. I’m totally uneducated on what factors can contribute to paint damage that I shouldn’t be talking. I’m just glad I haven’t had to deal with it.

I have a 2006 Kia Spectra that sits out in the sun 24/7. The paint on the trunk is in worse shape than the hood. For those in Europe the Boot lid is in worse shape than the Bonnet

It could be the way the sun hit one more than the other because of the way it's parked.

I have been an idiot. I have been measuring the core length instead of the overall length, that Setrab radiator is too short to fit the OEm mounts. And I can't for th elife of me find a cooler with a mount that fits. Mount to mount on my OEM cooler is 420mm-421mm long, the matrix is 370mm long.

On the Setrab web site they have the dimensions for all their coolers. From best I can tell the Setrab 50-613-7612 6 Series ProLine is an exact fit as far as bolt pattern goes. My XK8 is a 2005. Hope you find one that fits.
Next week I hope to get mine up on the lift and measure clearance for the taller cooler.

As I'm sure you know, if they have one with proper hole spacing you could make some adaptors for height of mounting bracket.

Yea probably just a flat plate with a couple of holes drilled into it will do. Something like this? Buy Mocal Universal Oil Cooler Brackets (Pair) - BRKT1 | Demon Tweeks Not sure why the holes are drilled not in-line with each other though? I take it the rubber mounts you get are just rubber so you can twist it a little to get it to screw in.
