How would one remove an Aluminium block off plate w/o cutting holes in the shroud or taking off the bumper? With cardboard or plastic I could easily bend the pieces

oil cooler block off plate.

You should be able to get to that by removing the plastic tray that is attached to the bottom of the bumper cover. It's the same one that needs to be removed for an oil change.
EDIT: I'd try the one in front of the radiator first.

oh... i don't know how you built yours... looks like its more in the grill of the car..
i just got a thin piece of aluminum and bent a lip to sit on top of the oil cooler... then glued magnets to the cooler and the aluminum... slides right out, and I have 2 sizes... one covers 90% one 50%.

be a man and take oft the front bumper and install it using z1 install instructions for installing oil cooler, that way you get an accurate measurement on the oil cooler.
