That small gap is on both the driver's and passenger's side of the car. However, the gap on the passenger side is what feeds the wheel well where the intake resonator is located.

At speed, the airflow directed at the car is split at the front bumper causing an area of high pressure to be formed around the area of our radiators. As a result, some air will be forced into that 'gap' as the inside of the wheel well will be at a lower pressure.

I didn't notice any large openings anywhere. Does the small gap cause a low pessure area in the wheelwell thus drawing air up into the well?
