As greg says I have fitted them purley for cooling to get as much hot air out of the engine bay as possible and it seems to be working

All depends if you think you need it, i've got a raiser on mine to get as much heat out as possible mainly due to having a cramped engine bay, cons are you get little buggers stuffing crisp wrappers between the gap.

I don't see the need. I have around double that power and still don't need to take any measures like that to provide satisfactory cooling. Don't bother IMO.

ive got them on mine but ONLY because I think the engine sits higher than standard and will probably foul the bonnet.

Looks crap IMO, dont bother!
