I've got a little problem..

Ok, so my 330 has an oil cooler on it. Well I just ordered an AC mudscreen front bumper (well actually its an off brand but it looks the same). And I am worried that the bumper will cut off air flow to my oil cooler and cause an engine failure. It looks exactly like an AC front bumper with a mudscreen (the one that kinda looks like an upside down triangle). Let me know if you think it will hurt anything???

no you should be just fine man cause a 300ex is not that hot...and even with your mods...the cooler should take the extra heat no prob

we run the oil cooler right on the front frame, and out ac bumper with number plate blocks it.....didn't change temp with the bumper or with out it...worked fine all year.

yeah thats what i did and they work great, to make it easier i would take off your plastics and make a card board template out of a ceral box first, btw aluminum is best but my local home depot didnt have a big enough sheet of it so i made mine out of zinc so it wont rust, here are some pics

My 300 is set up very close to yours.

I wouldn't worry about the mud screen.. it will actually keep it cooler because there will be less mud in your cooler fins.
