Ok

What pipe are people using for this job.

Just been quoted 400 for just the pipe and fittings to a front mounted cooler?

Maybe have a chat with the guys either at Demontweeks or at Speedflow. One of them should be able to sort you out for less than that.

Demon Tweeks can offer a 10 row Mocal oil cooler. Measure the pipes with a bit of hose pipe of similar first to get the correct length before ordering. Should be around £175 all in. Mount it behind the LHS rear lens, at the bottom of the air intake. The air flow there is sufficient. Speak to Dave Kimberley, he'll sort you out. Get a thermostatic sandwich plate though ( not the one listed below). You don't want to cool the oil if it's already cold. You'll just end up with sludge in your engine.
