most of the cooling is done by the lower grille, the backing plate as far as im aware is just there to stop water etc getting into the engine bay.

Or possibly stones hitting the radiator as my dad just pointed out when showing him my new badgeless grill - I hope there isn't a history of that, although no-one else seems to have suffered on here.

we need someone with an irmscher grille because that will be proper spec, which will tell us weather it needs the back plate or not....

Has that affected your car in anyway?
