The shield does not conatact the metal on the filter, it actually sits on the rubber mount, away from the functional area.
I agree, the whole filter should be covered, indeed to incorporate the intake, this would, in my opinion, look crap.
I do like aesthetics, perhaps even more than performance, this is a compromise.
Anyhow, I'm going to add a clear perspex shroud to the alloy ring, this should allow more trapped air, and let you see what's under it.

Could not have said it too much better myself.
This is for LOOKS, NOT performance!
Give me performance every time!
It's just another piece of shiny metal under the hood.

What about if you put that Heat Screen cloth stuff, that DEI makes, over it - or any heat shield for that matter? Would that help even more for heat reduction???

i was thinking more along the line of having a ceramic coating, or maybe something like that.

If you check the link in my sig, you'll see I run a company who make styling parts for 'Tours/Mondies etc. I'm prototyping SVT strut caps and engine cap covers this week.

Thanks for the replies, even Demon's  I was thinking of glueing some polystyrene inside the bell, this should insulate it a bit. I also made a detachable extra length cover to keep the performance freaks happy  I'll start a new thread on the caps, I done a prototype SVT one last night, will post a pic soon. Gary
