Does make the bonnet look damaged on a 306.
They look OK on cars with square bonnets, like those often fitted to S-Body Nissans and Toyota AE86s. Their purpose is not to cool the engine down whilst moving, as in fact they do the opposite, they can upset the airflow that your bonnet was originally designed to give, increasing under-bonnet temps. The idea is that after or during an event a track car or drift car can be left stationary without the need to raise the bonnet to disperse heat.
Now I'm guessing that doing laps around the local industrial estate probably don't necessitate bonnet lifters.
