Question

Well, if they're supposed to let in air, I'd have thought that they'd let in water, too?
Mine have a little hole at the bottom, which seems to direct any water that enters, away from the ignition, etc.

Are they not there to let hot air out?

I was under the impression that for homologation purposes they were put on the road cars and as such don't do a great deal (Apart from look cool ) but on the rally cars they aid under bonnet ventilation.

What the **** do i know

getting rid of hot air can only be good for the engine
