You'll probably waste less money, but achieve the same thing ;)

I'm not pissing over your thread, I'm giving what I believe to be sound advice.

I can only assume you want to fit grills on your bonnet for an aggressive look. There is absolutely no point ducting air from the front of the car, around the engine, ancilliaries, wires and hoses to grills in those positions. Where are you going to put the ducting? What are you hoping to actually achieve?

As I said, if you want to remove the air resistance, you'd be better off channelling the air either around the car or over it, not through it.

That vent in front of the windscreen is there for a different purpose - it's to allow fresh air (not polluted by engine noise/fumes) into the cabin, via a baffle so that rain drains away harmlessly.

What is it you're trying to achieve Chris?

Yeah I did realise when I did more looking into it @wurlycorner. To be honest... As a design aspect I wanted to make it a homage to the vent set up on the mk1 while adding a bit of performance through the added aero.
