removing fog light for cold air feed; need a hand with a couple things :)

[StealthInspired]

Where is the Cold air feed being fed to, via pipe (behind an empty fog light grill)?
Looking at your Profile picture - Considering there's what? just a couple of inches between your fog LIGHT and the nice big lower bumper grill section in the centre.

Instead of having an odd missing foglight, why not just site the pipe (with a LARGER scoop attached to suck in even more air), facing forward, behind this central lower Grill? Then you get to keep both foglights and looks original.

The feed goes from the fog light opening directly to the ITG foam filter located just in front of the battery. The air feed has a very smooth path, just a very shallow bend up to the filter.

I can see what your saying but I wanted to avoid actually being able to see the air feed as much as possible. The ducting I have got has a very slightly greater circumference than the fog light opening so it should neatly slide over the back edge lip of the opening... it's difficult to explain but I will take some photos when i fit it all on Friday...

When I am done you will only see a couple of "ribs" in the ducting so very discreet and tidy.

Hi guys, just to let you know that all the mods I suggested got on the car in time for Modified Nationals on Saturday it was a late one the night before though...
I've got pictures on my iPhone so I'll update my build thread tomorrow for anybody interested

Why not just remove the other fog and insert a small piece of ducting that does nothing just to even things up abit! Im abit anal about having things looking symmetrical!

Oh and off topic, I'm doing the same as you! After spending loads on advertising and getting no results I'm keeping mine for a while aswell! And can you read my mind? As I've been wanting to get some products from Carbon mods for a few ideas I have! I never followed through as I was selling up but might give it a go now!

Ah well done mate, glad to hear it! It would really have spoilt ownership of this car to let it go for the money I was offered so gonna keep on going with her.

Ordering the Carbon Mods kit next week and hoping to have something pretty for Inters

Pat, the screw you were turning and not getting anywhere is for aligning the Foglights aim. If you haven't already guessed it like

lol I only know because I tried removing mine with that screw, when I realised nothing was happening I got the correct screws. I then put both fogs on one night against garage door and noticed one was way off and twigged
