Ha ha! That is an awful lot of louvres.

It's not the first time I've been asked about an excess of hot air, just the first time it's related to my car and not my conversational skills.

I didn't cut out the louvres, they're still just dummies. Instead I've installed a secondary radiator from a Toyota MR2 at the back of the car.

I'll plumb that in with a BMW electric water pump and thermostatically controlled valve in the spring, and I'm hoping that it will address the excess engine heat generated at constant motorway speeds.

I'll keep you posted.
