or try (if you haven't already) a higher capacity rad, oil cooler, wrap manifold/exhaust, adding an extra fan so that you have 2, controlled by a switch..

try cool louvres for bonnet louvres; http://www.coollouvres.com/

i thought maybe something like these at the front, would it be ok in the rain though bearing inmind it one will be almost directly over the cone filter.

ahh understand it now. so i assume you drop a bonnet off to them show what you wont, they press the louvers and you pick up a few days later?

a mahooosive gt4 one would keep the temperature down, albeit slightly 'boyracer'.

Here's a pic of the vents on my bonnet- not cool louvres or anything like that though. The bodyshop I use cut them for me on the bonnet and the wings.
