Default Classic Impreza bonnet vent question...

I have recently bought a tidy Classic wagon and have noticed that on the vents/grills on the bonnet there are covers on the underside??

Is this how it should be, or should you be able to see the engine and feel the heat coming out of them as at the moment there is no heat from the engine bay being let through....

Just wondering as i have never really noticed tbh....

Thats how they are meant to be, more cosmetic than practical.

lol at Hawkeye beast

the vents are purely cosmetic...you can remove the covers but you will mess up the under bonnet cooling. iirc Harvey did some testing with the covers removed and in place hth
