I bought an aluminum radiator (from Griffin Radiator in Piedmont SC) for the TVR. It was expensive, and it works better than stock. I'd say you'd take a big chance buying something advertised as aluminum for near the same price as a recore. Aluminum, by the way, doesn't transfer heat as well as copper, so unless you go bigger/thicker, you save nothing but a little weight.
