[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 792941, member: 4527"] no cooling issues with mine when it was turboed after lifting the bonnet, especially since I upgraded to a 26mm thicker automatic radiator. I tested the aero and at high speed the middle bit was stale turbulent (probably blocked by the large TB elbow pipe) while the outer edges around the A-pillar had very high flow [URL]https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/post-683082[/URL] my main purpose was to allow the heat off the turbo to easily escape when stationary, yet still shield the bay from the elements. both factors were fulfilled. it's important to fit a plate or seal to the exposed RH side of the rad so that the high pressure incoming air is forced to flow through it rather than around it.
