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?

This is one of those things that I have always thought Mark (Mikey914) should tackle. Should be a piece of cake to come up with the tooling for something like that. Doesn't even have to look exactly like the original, just be functional. Whaddaya say Mark? We all know you have TONS of free time on your hands these days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
