Are there any benefits to running these open air vents?

Thanks to Awesome GTI for the lend of their image!

As the title asks, are there any benefits running these air vents, will it help induction/brake cooling?

Thanks in advance...

The grills are just for aesthetics  

You've opened up a can of worms!

Well they look great and don't rip the car apart @ 140mph so I say go for it!

I am so used to search facilities not working very well on forums, but it actually works pretty darn well on this'n!  ;)

Answered my question (I think!)! :)

I was about to put my order in yesterday for them but they've doubled in price over the space of a week and a half so I'm waiting on my dealer to get back to me...

I must be the only person that prefers the look of the standard closed grilles?
