I am planning on installing a TL front bumper cover in the next couple weeks. Something I have noticed is that on my Carrera 4 there is just black plastic in the center with no vents. On the TL bumper cover it is straight through in the center.
What is under there in my car? Should this remained blocked and is letting air in there going to cause trouble?
Does anyone have a photo of a 2002 C4 with the bumper cover removed?
Unless you are racing or tracking your car quite heavily in a hot climate, I doubt that you need a third radiator. Spend the $500 on something else. Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a TL bumper? Turbo Look?
The C4 manual transmission car does NOT have a 3rd radiator, not sure you want extra air
blowing under the middle of the car!! The black panal may not be part of the bumber cover you are removing.
Hope that helps

The black plastic panel is just a blank. Check out the photo below which shows what lies behind. Note the bumper cap in the background.
You might screw up your air flow, and it looks like you will get a lot of air under (above?) your belly pan. Note that it's not that pretty behind there either.
