Turbo front grill

by Vxlgsi » Thu Apr 21, 2011 5:15 pm

Been playing with the calli all day and noticed that the front grill had no holes on it for air to pass through, i removed it so i could put some in only to find the back of the grill is removable!

Wonder if this was added or removed for different climates?

I would have thought that the 8v only needed the air from the under bumper 'scoop' to cool it so they blocked the top inlet off to prevent overcooling, especially in winter.
