Engine staying cold

[Duduglanza]

I had a civic radiator installed in my glanza.. normal sice is 42mm core i think but i ordered the 56mm.

now the engine is not heating as it should and while cruising it stays few millimetres above the C (cold). it only reaches the exact temp if i let it idle for 10min or so ..

should i worry or can i do something to arrange it without changing yhe radiator? maybe thermostat opens later or something?

Another good way to tell if it's your thermostat is with the heater in the car, does it get warm quicker than normal? If so your stat maybe stuck open...

Thats what im thinkin as the problem started with the changing of radiator. but i can take a look to the thermo aswell
