The air being forced under it lifts the flap into the air, and is pressed up against the grille opening until you have to stop, where they fall back down onto the front bumper.
Maybe not the best idea, but it's a start.

I like it. I was thinking the same thing but I was being more complex because I was thinking of a flap that was hinged at the top and "pushed" by the air in a similar way. But, a flap that just falls back down is nicer because gravity helps out (mine would have needed a spring). That sounds really easy to do. Hinge some plastic and put little bumpers to raise the flap :
