The last owner removed the cooling flaps and gubbings.

i can see the 2 holes where the flap bar should be but not guts.


How safe am i running without it and what bits do i need to stick em back in?

You definitely need them - have a look on JK to see what Laurie Petit (aka actyerage and one of the few VW engine gurus in case you don't know of him) says about it here
