As the title of the thread indicates, I seeking advise in options for an oil cooler and external filter to upgrade the original's 1600CC.
Any takers?

never saw a need for one on a Beetle engine. As long as the hot and cold sides are isolated and your thermostat system works you don't need a cooler. The VW filter, although coarse, does quite well when combined with the stock oil bath air filter.

If you do put on an external cooler, get one that is built like a radiator as opposed to the more common ones that simply have the pipe pass through fins several times. I know they work a lot better because I designed an oil based heat exchanger type interior heater in my baja bug and the effectiveness of the radiator type was an hundred-fold greater.
Just my 2 cents....

While this is true you don't want to over cool the engine.
