So its either hood vents or a bigger radiator.
I assume a thicker radiator will affect airflow through the cosworth intercooler and therefore increase IATs.

On the subject of bonnet vents, I still haven't been able to bring myself to install the Velox vents, but instead have gone with the Beatrush vented under tray. I'm quite happy with it, whilst my car isn't tracked, I have noticed drops in temps . Where my oil would hit 112C up the mountain its now around 100C . Highway cruising its around 90C. I am currently not running an oil cooler and my sensor is reading at the filter so would be a bit cooler in the sump. Additionally my IATs are now only about 6C above ambient where I was previously 12-15C above. My coolant is also down. You might find some benefit as well. .
