Obviously they will sit flush when done, but just wanted some opinions before I cut the bonnet!!

Personally in a fiesta you've got to be careful, go balls out or subtle sleeper as bolting random bits on can look tosh, mirrors/aerials and shite lights belong in the skip no matter how cheap they are.
Any way of chopping the bumper out and getting a larger radiator/fan setup in, yes chuck on some vents but be careful, had some louves cut into my car bonnet of my old 205 track car which looked ok but still on a hot day didn't do a great deal to help.
