Just before the engine are flaps that would seem to deflect air down to the ground. Is this for cooling? It would seem to rough up the air flow just before the oil cooler. Would it run cooler if these were removed? Any thoughts or comments?

It actually creates a low pressure area that aids the fan to push the air out the bottom of the tin.
