a la my picture
id fit a scoop n put it behind

well the pipe isn't very long and I can't really manuevere it so it's not touching hot parts or moving parts. I can't figure it anyway

get some more pipe only a few quid from halfrauds

Think I may get another air filter, lol. This is the viper filter and cost me £60 from Halfords (in a used condition though), so I thought you know, it'd be pretty amazing but unless the bonnet is open (or it's fitted properly), it sounds like mine...lol

fit it behind the grille where the logo is...or longer pipe and mount it lower in te engine bay....cos remember...heat rises.

looks better now its fitted right way round. i have my cold feed poking out of front bumper by lower grill. i dropped it down behind light and it fitted fine (had to make hole in bumper) i have a 2.5 V6 engine so space is virtually not existant and it clears all parts etc etc

yeh i can imagine it would be worth doin on an engine like that lol..wudnt bother with doin it on a 1.2

unfortunatly you can only fit in a cone filter, no room for anything else so to stop the cone drawing in hot air from around the engine i fitted a cold feed pipe! i did buy one of these sealed kits but that was also to big
