By definition,at the forward stagnation point,the air actually comes to rest.It's just impacting the body,with full dynamic pressure.
If you mixed carbon black (lamp black) and kerosene and dribbled it on the nose of the car,then immediately drove fast,the stagnation point(s) (forward) would be revealed by any dots which failed to smear off in some direction.
And this would be the best place to site the cooling inlet.
