    What about gills out the side roughly above the side indicators? No oil spill worries. depending on how much you have under your bonnet.
    Exhaust wraps/ ceramic coatings work a treat! Haven't done the patrol, but it works for rally cars.

    This article has some great info re bonnet scoops, easy to read too.
    Can putting a scoop on actually make the cooling system less efficient?
