Stewart,
Make a valance: you are obviously handy and it will protect the bottom of the rad especially if the curve just clears it.
Bending ali so precisely might be a bit beyond my skills at the moment and putting a nice neat lip on it like Cain’s valances will be tricky but now I’ve lowered my number plate to a position I like, I’m going to paint the bottom of the rad black and then make something very similar to RichB’s mesh valance which he posted in ‘Lowering The Front Number plate Box’ thread
I do like the look of that and I do think that’s more my skill level and keeps the airflow with a bit of protection
