Toying with the idea of removing mine completely - or running ducting from old fog lamp location to improve brake cooling (not seen this mod on many Scooby's tho??

Removing them does no harm. In fact it stops the annoying habit of trapping a stone bewtween disc and cover, which sounds like all hell is breaking out as the car moves, very scary, first time it does it.
