Default Will this radiator fit

Right after my rad blowing on me last night I need a new radiator, bluebugeye has very kindly informed me that a blob eye one will fit my bugeye with a bit of modding, I've found this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Impreza-WR...item3a8c126974
My question is will this fit, it looks different as it has the rad cap on the actual rad, mine is filled up via top of the engine, need to know ASAP so I can get the car back on the road. Thanks all

Thanks for that mate, yeah was thinking get a new one, but the machanic reckons there could be a head gasket issue so didn't really want to spend a lot, all I wanted to do is get a rad and get the car to the garage but I've found some cheap new ones so might just go new instead

Tell me about it mate, the joys of owning a scooby ah lol, the reason we are thinking head gasket is firstly the rad must have blown for a reason and all day yesterday I had the engine light on then POP goes the radiator. Thanks anyway mate I'm hoping it's just the rad to.
