Guest, 🎅🎄Looking for a stocking filler idea? Why not treat yourself or a loved one to our high quality CUPRA or SEAT valve caps. Order now from the merchandise store
If your going open cone I'd personally get one of the kits to put it in a area of direct air like mine.
If your just planning on putting it in the engine bay I'd stay with a panel filter in a smoothed box with a larger air intake.

Well a panel filter and air feed would be the cheapest option and look OEM.....Prob cost you aboutt £65 to do.
A open cone filter and relocation pipe are about £130-225 for a decent one.
Hope this helps

Iam going to go for a K&N cone and make the induction hose setup myself with universal blue samco hoses and aluminum tubing as i did in my MK3 Fiesta. Iam going to locate mine down in the lower part of the bumper though on the Leon.

I did this but with a 1 piece mandrel bent alloy pipe......my advice is don't do it because it sucks in loads of crap and water when it rains......it killed my MAF sensor to last weekend!
I know its going against what I said earlier but I didnt realise quite how bad it was at the time
I've put my airbox back on for the winter now.

I'll find a way around it somehow. I'll find it a nice little space where its not too exposed, away from the heat but will draw air. Maybe use a meshed off cold air feed aswell.
The only place would be just as it comes through under the inner wing/chassis leg, if you used a stumpy filter it would just sit higer than the bumper grille.........you'd still obviously suck in crap just not as much as directly behind the grille like mine was
Like this but about 2" shorter
yes something like that. I havent had a good look around the engine yet to see what space i have.....or dont have.
Thats about the only space there is to be honest, as you can see if you were to go higher you'd prob be touching the splash shield so wouldn't have a great deal of open space around it to suck air from.......any lower and you'd have a great air flow like I had but also risk the problems I had in the bad weather.
Another option is to do it like the picture and buy a K+N Precharger to cover it.

The tuning mags have done loads of tests on induction vs panel filters and i have often seen induction kits do worse than the std filter in the box unless they cost hundreds and have very good heat shielding so it is a good choice to go for the panel filter but you wont get that induction roar like an ind kit would.
