No. The C6 gets it's air througth the nose grill in the front facia AND the bottom air dam which is designed to direct air up towards the radiator.

The shorter left and right ones direct air into ducts just behind them which cool the front brakes. As has been said, the center one directs air to the radiator and the radiator also gets cooling air through the front grille - think that I read that its about a 60/40 ratio. 60 percent through the grille and 40 from the center spoiler. The side ones are easy to replace; just three 7mm screws attach each one to the car and a plastic push pin on each side attaches them to the center piece. It's about a 10 minute job to replace them both and about 30 bucks for the parts.
