This motor-lid was designed with function in mind: The stock Turbo motor lid does not allow enough hot air out of the engine bay with the rain-guard attached, and leaves and dirt constantly get stuck between the grills and the guard itself. Eliminating the rain-guard poses another set of problems; you get water spots, dirt, and leaves all over the engine, and water gets into electronics and in other places it shouldn't be.
This is what my friend does with his 1981 GTS 308 after running (similar to photo - injected not carb'd though)

Heat cycling of the engine is important to these folks, don't ask too many questions about it though. It's a Ferrari, gotta take those extra measures.

Another idea, from the same link as above:
