I actually was thinking about it
on the flat side parts put some naca ducts, mold them to the sides and paint them body color. I don't think it would look good though.

u know what's scary?
i swear w/o looking at the replies just looking at your picture...i first though of the naca ducts on the side of your bumper, then thinking that your actual tire might get in the way, opted to cut a hole in your bumper right under your brights. route some piping down to the brakes.
freaky.

Not bad; but on our cars, even routing the hose is going to be difficult.

Another option ...
<center><img src="http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/catalog/x-images/brake_deflector.jpg"></center><p>is to hang a hard rubber air deflector off the a-arm directing air op to the center of the rotor. These are OE on the NSX and some Porsches. For <$20, I picked up a set of the Porsche deflectors, but they don't come close to matching the curvature of the a-arm on my S8.
I've been looking for a way to get air to my rotors also. Last year at Mid-Ohio I melted a set of Pagid Orange pads; Ferodo 3000's held up last month, but I overheated and cracked an Alcon rotor.<ul><li><a href="http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/catalog/index_browse_part.cfm?focus=474">Dali Racing air deflector</a></li></ul>
