Should i have a large hole?

Just took the bottom front plastic grill, under the headlights, off my watercooled caravelle and there is no hole, i was expecting a rectangle hole there to cool the rad. Is this right? as it is, only half the rad is getting fresh air.

Interesting this as I want to block off the hole that should be there on yours.
Do you have any issues with cooling?
Has the cooling fan been fitted?
I agree with Sukoi it has been converted to water

Not quite...I will admit being absolutely in love with the air cooled frontage as it looks so natural to the van
however...
I want to keep the holy warm water
and...
combine the two
