The simplest solution may be to simply duct some air to the oil pan, e30 guys have found that is more effective than the stock small oil cooler. All that plastic under the car is good for aero but certainly doesn't help the cooling situation.
I havent done the retrofit myself, as the parts a re a little pricy and taking the housing out is a PITA..

I was thinking of that myself, even just cutting a slit in the plastic panels and screwing on a small scoop or something... who knows... just opening some holes may do it ??
