Can anyone think of a down side of adding an extra smaller radiator to work in conjunction with the stock radiator for extra cooling? BMW's are doing this for the 1M.

Wouldnt it be cool to solder copper lines to your fenders or hood so the entire sheet metal section would act as a radiator? Obviously the fins of a radiator are desinged to exponentially increase surface area, but a fender could dissipate a hell of a lot of heat without creating any additional drag, and it cooling capacity would increase with speed.
