I vote for the original 16 blade metal one.
I find them quieter than the yellow plastic ones, more durable than the white plastic ones, and neither the 1293 or the 1360 ever overheats, even in traffic on a 40C day.

i would prefer the yellow or the white blade over the metal one.... lol save weight and less drag..

I use a 6 blade steel fan on my cooper s, never had a drama, the 16 blade plastic fans are next, they seem to flow more air than the 16 blade steel type.
