I wonder what the bonnet vents on this car are for ? Cooling the battery, maybe ?! :?

Surely not just for show ? It's a lovely looking car apart from those stick-on monstrosities !

Perhaps the owner is an entomologist.

Perhaps the 'vents' are connected to the washer bottle, collecting water and transferring it directly to the bottle there bye negating the need to fill it up manually!!!!!!!

I think there rain sensors!

They vent straight into the cabin, when your face gets wet you know it's time to turn the wipers on :)

Its obvious that they are to deflect cyclists and pedestrians over the roof and thus saving expensive windscreen repairs!

You have it all wrong, it is clear to me the engine overheats and so extra cooling is carried out using the heater matrix and these super-nostrils are to duct a force 9 gale through the heater inlet.
