just looks a little weird off center, and not paired if not centered. i would've gotten a second one for the passenger side, made it symmetrical.
it's an interesting mod, but probably not up my alley.

It's in the position it is in because it replaces the removable piece in the xD's cowl that gives access to the brake fluid spout and battery removal. It is functional in the manner that it does vent air down inside the engine compartment while driving - so it is not a fake vent. But, as far as any advantage that comes from this venting, well... that would be subject to discussion...
My 1982 Renault LeCar (the xD predecessor?) had a similar vent into the engine compartment, but it vented directly through the hood, rather than through the cowling...
