need me to take the airbox away to proof my point ?
The condenser idea is a start, add to this batt relocation, air box relocation etc etc plus a vented bonnet/hood the BOOM, big improvement.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Even thru ur bickering.

A simple screen like those used for the rear diffuser would help with that. Anyways I'm sure every and all set ups have their pros and cons.

Never underestimate how much over-flagellation some will devote to meaningless minutia

As you can see in the original photos is that I have alloy mesh covering the bottom of the front grill area. But what you can't see behind the main center grill area, is very fine fibreglass mesh which is siliconed into place which stops all the bugs and dirt, stones etc getting passed the grill area, but doesn't restrict air flow.
