Yet another 205 question.

Today i removed the front grille, headlights and indicators to put on my new clear indicators. When i first bought the car a mate queried the fact that the air intake opening is directly behind the flat plastic part of the grille.

When i removed the grille today it confirmed this. Is this not a little strange? Surely all the air is being prevented from the air intake and thus hampering performance?!

Is everybody's pug like that or just mine?

Has any body altered this (cut a hole in the grille mount) to create perfect air induction? Surely it must increase performance?

Worth a go?

Yup thats the place.

I'll probably leave it alone but it just seems an odd set up to me!?

Thats a fair point, my query was just that it seemed an odd place to put the entrance on the induction system directly behind an obstructing plate. I just figured it was blocking the cool air causing it to only take in warmed engine air. I am not looking to change the system was just questioning it.
