300C Brake Ducts

Where are the brake cooling ducts located? I assumed they would be in the front towards the inside of the driving lights. On my 300C these ports are blocked off except for a small hole in the passenger side openning. Where are the ducts located?

Sadly, I suspect like most cars the cooling ducts are the ambient air blowing by kind of like 460 air conditioning.

Hmmm...
I was talking to a friend with a BMW M5 and he was working on this issue on his car... It seems that the non-US models have ducting to the front breaks and the US model does not. When he inquired about it, the response was that the US owners are picky about break dust on there wheels and with the additional air flow the dust amount increases. (hmmm.. How about preformance issues?)

He was working on getting the parts to the ducting that his US car was missing.

Well initial reports from Chrylser were that the car would have brake cooling ducts that would lower the brake temp by 15%.
