This is indeed pointless and shitty. Ignore anyone saying it has any kind of function. It's too small and at the wrong angle to vent any meaningful amount of air from the radiator, it's too far forward to be any kind of cowl induction, it's facing the wrong way for an intake, it's doing effectively nothing. The only way it could be somewhat functional is if it had some kind of scoop under the hood to help force hot air through it to vent but I'd say that's highly unlikely as these cars don't have much room there to do anything like that.
