Abstract
The present invention provides a brake cooling system for cooling vehicle brakes having a fascia for mounting in a front area of the vehicle. The fascia has at least one aperture therein for allowing air to pass therethrough. The aperture has a first aperture side opposing a second aperture side. The brake cooling system further has a channel structure communicating with the aperture to allow the air to pass through the channel structure. The channel structure extends back from the fascia and has a first channel side opposing a second channel side. The channel structure is constructed to channel air from the aperture to the vehicle brakes when the vehicle is moving in a forward direction.
