I have more issues with getting airflow out from under the bonnet.

The nose seems to let loads of air in but there's nowhere for it to go except out underneath the body of the car.

we used a nice 1 from a local motorfactors ,its the sort of thing the maxpower boys use but looks at home on a proper car. we also made 4 3" holes either side at rear of the bonnet to help the extra air escape

I've got:

- ali round the rad to force any air that comes into the nose through the rad

- a small open-fronted scoop on the bonnet because of the height of the inletstuff

- a louvre on each side of the bonnet near the scuttle.

Never seem to have any problems with bonnet lift or overheating
