Brake Ducts

How easy would it be to make up some ducts around the hub and test it out to see if there is a noticeable improvement?

Because of their circular movement and their shape the air must be taken from the hub (I think it is impossible the other way)...
I am thinking of buying a hub + mud guard (already have discs) and try to make a prototype for the air duct, but I can't test the design to have an objective result and see the benefits.
I am hoping for some improvement and only a small improvement is needed for a nqsbbk and a 160bhp Golf. Hopefully when I have the air ducts and some feedback you can try the solution and see if it works for you...

Have you seen the oe Phaeton brake cooling set up?

Yes, but not on a MK5 (as I remember Dave said he could not make that setup work for a Mk5). And also the air is not taken from the front grille but from underneath the car.
