Inspection flap maybe ???

After 250 miles of B road driving I have at last managed to get round to giving the car it's first much needed clean.
In the grey plastic front wheel arch lips (ahead of the front of the wheels) there two rectangular cut outs (one each side) approx 90mm X 15mm. It looks like they are there to give access to something but all I can see is a hole leading to the inner wing? I would have thought at the very least there should be a cover/flap which would stop mud getting in. Would someone please see if they have the same? Thanks.

This is bizarre. I noticed mine just yesterday and Iv had my car since launch on 24th OCT.

Saw it on the driver's side. Thought something must've been broken off. Checked the passenger's side. Same. Not a clue what it's for.

They are the air pathway for the temp sensors (the little sticks in the middle)
