I have heard that estate agent's signs have been used to good effect!

OE baffles make things rust.
Make them out of the sign board.

I read something on here that recomended not using them . Ive not had any fitted for a couple of years now and had no probs.
it's a bloody expensive piece of cardboard

VW along with every other vahicle manufacturer wouldnt have bothered desining, making and fitting them if they had no functional value.
They stop air going around the ends of the rad matrix instead of through it as intended.
