:? Hmmm... I like where this is going!!! I've got Topmix Sideskirts on the way (eventually)... Could the brake vents be cut to sit behind the scooped section of the Topmix Sideskirts???

Would be pointless in terms of actually doing something.

The calipers on the rears sit on the wrong side of the rotor, plus they don't get used enough to warrant putting in some kind of vent.

Will you need an engineers approval to do that sort of work? Then again I could be wrong coz you're not modding the chassis..........
