If you're looking for a little customizing and breathing from under
hood/bonnet, louvres are a possibility. They were added to the GT6+(?) for
that purpose. Whether they'd help at a standstill, who knows.

Your best bet for cooling might be a little sheetmetal work around your fan
and radiator. Especially at standstill there is the possibility that heated
air, already having been drawn through the radiator, may circulate down and
out the front and right back through the radiator. Anything you can do to
prevent that will be a plus.
