The thing looks like a bit of an air brake to me so I was wondering is there any advantage in removing it? I have a large aftermarket alloy rad and have also cut away the numberplate section and it runs well cool.

Ok thanks guys, we are having a bit of a heatwave in 'Ol England at moment up in the low 90's so maybe I had better leave it as GM intended!

Check that it hasn't been shortened significantly from rubbing, and that the webbing on the backside is intact and the hardware is tight. I've seen them worn down (up), and loose or busted so they bend back at speed - both bad.
