Or maybe an air dam with a centre air scoop built in. A lot of the radiator is below the grille opening and it would be helpful to direct air into the lower radiator rods & fins to help with cooling. You don't want to block off air going to the lower part of the radiator. You should be able to find some pictures of racing TR3s with a horizontal opening cut into the lower valence for ideas.<o:p></o:p></p><p>TeriAnn<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none'><img border=0 width=681 height=539 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.jpg@01DA6A52.C40D7610"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
