if you would like your car to remain cool I'd say leave it on there.

if you think it looks bad, then remove it. Who cares if it is a major part in keep the car running cool.

It's not too bad looking if it hasn'tbeen chipped like mine, and I'm talking the replaced one! My mechanic urged addressing the old one getting replaced and it is the major air inlet, so if you replace the factory one, do so with a suitable replacement fabrication or bolton
