Does anyone think that having 4 spot lights fitted on the front grill will effect the air flow going into the car making performance suffer ??

Also a question to anyone with 4 spot lights and Xenon's - have you upgraded the bonnet/hood struts to compensate for the extra weight ?

9days to go.....

Theoretically anything in front of the grill will effect air flow into the radiator (and the cars overall drag factor), however unless you drive in a particuarly hot part of the world (ie not the UK) I suspect the radiator will have more than enough excess capacity to cope.
