No matter what, radiators are heat exchangers and the heat must be dissipated. It won't happen in an enclosed space, no matter how big the radiator is.
Are you talking about the openings after the front wheels? Those are completely cosmetic. I just checked and they are openings to a piece of plastic that is blocking it off.

The only thing that i can see that goes to the radiator are the two small openings on the bottom outside on the front of the bumper on each side of it. I wonder how small i could go with an opening like that, with tubing going to the radiator on an engine that is about 1/6th of the size?
