Pretty sure Focus-AK has about as much of the lower grill blocked with no cooling issues but every car is different. I hope you have a gauge that reads engine temps from the computer because the gauge on the dash is just a glorified idiot light. I still haven't blocked my lower grill but it's on my to-do list when I find time to work on the car. Been thinking about exending the air dam like you did too but was worried about it not being "ideal". I guess it's better than nothing but could be better, but extending thr factory dam is just too easy lol
