I have got my mistress out after 7 years in storage. I forgot how hot the engine bay gets. Anyone got any suggestions how to get more air in through into the bay to drop the temp

It doesn't have a splitter. Where would one be found

The temp gauge sits at 90 oc and the fan cut in no problem. I just want to get the ambient under bonnet temp down.
Just to clarify she doesn't just sit in the drive anymore she's out on the prowle
I just don't want to cook the engine bay.
The cats and pre cats have gone so that helps

I would just like to clarify that the car is not just sat on the drive. She used to come out into the drive to run when she was in storage. I just want to lower the engine bay temp when she is running by forcing more air into the bay

Front splitter fitted which seems to help and I just drive faster. Had a lovely run out to Manchester and back
