Default cut/drill front bumper

Since moving my fm and rad more towards the bumper. I've noticed there's hardly any of the fmic not covered by the bumper. surely this can hardly lower the temps. for .ore air flow has anyone made subtle changes to create more air flow. I've thought about drilling a pattern in the bumper behind where the number plate goes so if I put the plate back on it still looks standard

If you do that behind the number plate ,put the plate on ten mm spacers gives more air a gap to go through

I ment to relocate the plate on a temp basis then if I want to put back to look standard it would cover it ? didn't know if other people had anything different with out cutting the bumper

Out of interest how did you move the rad forwards?

I'd go with drilling circular holes behind the plate and remove/replace the plate as required. also, a lot of people remove the bottom bar on a '90 spec bumper.
