Engine Bay Temperature

Hi Gerry
ive recently come from other turbo'd cars to porsche ownership and really noticed the massive heat build up in the engine bay, so im also going to vent my bonnet. as we are tracking the cars,
The dutch nine vents which are the best looking are a tad pricey so what about these - BLACK RS COSWORTH STYLE CAR BONNET VENTS/AIR INTAKES (#370532623679) ebay seller passion automotive(currently out of stock) about £14 pair

Its enough that my wife said to me when she opened the door in the pits it was just like opening the door on an oven.

I have all the factory heat shielding in place, tbh it just heat soaks over time such that the first 15 to 20 minutes is not that bad but after that the heat really builds up.

How about some naca ducts in the rear quarter glass (plastic?) to blow cool air into the cabin?
