I always though that they were for keeping the water off. After taking mine off I did notice that the first pust of the brakes in wet weather was not as good as it was, but maybe that was because I was expecting it. They have been off 15 years and no problem. I perhaps should say I took them off to help cooling which it did,never faded again. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

If heat was a problem, I'd modify them to fit hoses with a duct from the front panel. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Why go to all the effort unless you think they serve another purpose, care to elaborate?

The purpose from the factory is to keep water and dirt away. This works well if you use the standard wheels and hub caps.
