Good job m8...I ended up buying the fog light air scoop, hav'nt got round to fitting it yet, lol. Putting standard box back in mine too, and ITG filter, waited over two weeks for the filter...still has'nt come :roll: Saw that ducting in halford the other day also, what diameter is it m8? You removed the old feed also? Matt

That looks like the ducting that is wank and tears really easy? Good job though I need to sort something similar for mine

Looks good coops!

It is! LOL

I had some of this on my old clio. Fooking teribble.

i wrapped mine with duck-tape to keep it together.

I'm still undecided on whats the best ducting for cars....but i rate the stuff from demon tweeks. works well

nah the bumper had them holes in when i got the car!same on other side n all so guessin sum1 mite of had big gay fogs on it at some point in the past!! :shock:

the ducting is fine so far, and shoehorned it over the inlet for the airbox with a screw driver n it didnt rip, i'll keep an eye out for stone chips over next few weeks!!

all i need is the ITG now and am laffin!

Be careful that the pipe goes in enough so it dont catch on the wheel on full lock..
Will have to try the hand over it to see what happens :wink:

I was thinking about doing this, but what happens to the filter in driving rain? Won't it get pish wet through??

all i've noticed was a touch more vapour otta the exhaust, never bothered checkin the filter tbh, sure it'll be reet n shud be enough latent heat in the airbox after runnin to dry it out! tho does say the glue dont cope to well with water so u have to clean/wash it with petrol!! :shock:
