would look too plain imo on yours without it. too much white with the morettes and the badge breaks it up nicely!

LONG ANSWER

looks like a 1.6 replica with it out.... why just tear random bits off your car? you wouldn't take a door off would you?

looks seriously with it out, the airflow difference would be negligable, and if you were that concerned about it your time would be far better spent making air guides and shrouds for the intercooler, rarther than vandalising your car

SHORT ANSWER.

In it looks rubbish missing
