Radiator flaps that open and close for quicker warm up. Not on early models, I believe they came in with the reduced emissions so late 2007.
Are they opening and closing depending on whether the car is hot or cold?
Incidentally mine is a oct 2007 with lower emission but no rad flaps, I thinks it's because I have active steering?
