I did think that about the bonnet opening when I was typing my reply, but it also occured to me that anyone stupid enough to have this mod probably wouldn't have noticed

At the end of the day, it looks crap, allows rainwater to drip all over the electrics, has no discernible benefit on engine temps on the road, allows your rattly CVH to spray oil all up your windscreen, and attracts theives to attempt to pry the bonnet open.

Still, as long as YOU like it, then it must be a good mod
