Rather than increase airflow it stops it going under the car at speed and reduces "lift" at the front. AS said longer bolts and some washer do the trick. need to re-aim the screen jets though

ive pickin up me valver 2nite. its had it done aswell. as the cold air passes over the bonnet it draws out the hot hair from the engine bay. works like a big louvre (sp)

yes it would... there would be more flow over the engine...
air in the front and out the rear of the bonnet...
would also let water in though i would imagine...

i would just cut the bulkhead top out and lose the heater and the scuttle acts as a vent then

take a hole saw to the bulk head... air drawn over the engine and into the passenger compartment, the only way to fly
