   if you have a widemouth then remove them and put black mesh over the holes, and behind the mesh have a feed to the brakes for cooling, or the air filter.
   
   If you dont have a widemouth then keep them, but smoke them (if they arent already)

    removing them isnt going to cause the brakes to cool any quicker with the wheel arch liners in place or have you removed them?

    Or just cut them down enough to allow the air to get to the brakes

    By brake cooling i meant:
    
    Mesh over the hole from behind, ducting, cut a hole in the arch liner so the ducting pokes through, screw on some curved pieces of plastic to direct the airflow onto the pads.

    that kinda defeats the whole object of modifying then mate, you do alot of things because you like the look of it?

    its like so many factors of modding, your never going to get back the money time and effort you put in.. but you do it because the result is a car thats your own, and you love it!
