What and look like a new Cruiser

I would think that the extra amount of dirt and crud entering would be an issue, deep water also (as mentioned) and anyway the main reason vehicles have a bonnet scoop is to increase airflow either into an airbox mounted at the top of the engine or across an intercooler mounted there (e.g. Patrol's, Hilux's and new Cruiser 70's).
