Cheers 
No affect on the cooling side of things. Runs fine. Bear in mind you still have the vents in the front of the bonnet that direct air to the radiator. The winch does look close physicaly to the radiator in one pic but it has about 40mm clearance. You can also access the winch fine with the bonnet open. get to the drum and freespool lever no problems.
Only difference i notice is the weight of it on the front end when braking. You can notice the winch there. That is half the reason i wanted to keep it simple than a making a steel bumper. Plus i personally like the look of factory bumpers
With the winch on and G15a engine in (slightly heavy than the g13a) the front end only sits 5mm lower than the back when measuring the distance from the tyre to the guards, still on factory springs too

That's a nice neat job mate well done.
Some 15mm spring spacers might help on the front .
