It might just need some baffles to force air through the rad- the nosecone on sevens gives plenty of space round the edge of the rad for the air to spill round rather than going through the rad.

Spot on and also the air needs to escape from the engine bay too. It is easy to end up with positive air pressure in the bay and that inhibits air flowing in through the rad!

Definatelly baffle the nose to force all the air through the rad.
As a short term fix try propping the rear of the bonnet up 10mm, worked for me.
