However, at this stage, the road temps are lower than they have ever been, so it works exactly as I intended it to.
Thats even MORE air going in to the engine - relative to how much can actually escape.
I think we need to find a white bonnet that we can put lots of slots in (at the hinged end) I reckon that even if this bonnet did not have the Es Cos oval vents It wouls be more effieient in the reduction of the temps.
Mike, if I can get hold of a white bonnet and get it modded wiith lots of slots can we do some field testing with it fitted to your car?
