Could part of the problem be that you aren't exhausting the hot air from the radiator quickly enough?

Mines not an m57, but I’ve just added some side bonnet vents (I’ve yet to add some mesh ) but when I got back today the electric fans were on and I could feel the hot air being forced out of them, so they definitely work. The hole in the front wing is one of the cold air intakes.

Cheers. I too think some holes will help. Cheers
