Default cooling issues.

Hi chaps, i'm having a right nightmare in the warm weather with my car heating up.

she's never boiled over but its just running far too hot. the gap between the rad and intercooler is letting too much air escape at the sides instead of forcing it through the rad. everything is working perfectly as i've had it checked just need something to block the gap safely.

How have other people done theirs?

its a standard rad, GRS front mount and 2x 10" kenlowe fans (genuine, not copies). I'm also using a non vented bonnet, which i believe isn't helping the underbonnet temps. literally within 3 minutes of driving the temp is normal and within 10 minutes the fans are on, and they stay on until the end of the journey.
