Is front plate detrimental to engine cooling?

I noticed that ever since I put up the front plate, the oil temperature went up by about 5 degrees to 245. Although it has been kind of hot here in Seattle the last few days, I wonder if the plate does block air flow significantly?

I think it's the hot weather. My front plate has been on since the car was delivered and the oil temp has been higher over the last couple of days.

Here's the Skeene mount. I think it looks better than the factory mount.

Here's the car. It matches our skies (most of the time).

Pretty!
My 328i was silver, but my fav color is blue. I went without the bracket, since I want the darn plate be as small as possible.
